- Game script (pace): The style leans toward San Antonio Spurs trying to press the game, with New York Knicks looking to steady it and cut down on fast decisions. That initial pace split often follows the total.
- Efficiency edge (side): The longer view tilts toward San Antonio Spurs if it can keep the game tidier and finish defensive possessions. Creating added opportunities can turn the side call.
- Late filters (availability + market): Start with the last availability check, because rotation changes can shift both the side and total read at the finish. If the market shifts, use that as a cue to re-check news rather than pushing the angle.
