- Efficiency edge (side): The season profile points toward Detroit Pistons if it keeps the possession count safer and avoids giving away runouts. A few bonus possessions can flip the side. Ball security is the sharpest swing for Atlanta Hawks, so it needs to secure the advantage.
- Late filters (availability + market): Lineup and schedule context are the closing review, and they can alter both matchups and closing options. If the market shifts, take it as a nudge to re-check assumptions rather than jamming the first take.
