- Game script (pace): Miami Heat tends to press tempo off misses, while Philadelphia 76ers prefers to steady it into longer half-court possessions. The initial pace read frequently follows how the total plays.
- Efficiency edge (side): From a season lens, it tilts toward Miami Heat when the possession script is tidier and second chances are limited. A few added possessions can turn it. The straightest way for Miami Heat to separate is rebounding for added chances.
- Late filters (availability + market): Lineup news and situational context are the last gate, and they can shift how both teams score late in the clock. If money has moved the line, treat it as a cue to verify rather than pushing a lean.
