🎄 Big NBA Slate Before the Holiday Break

We’ve got a huge NBA slate tonight before the league goes dark tomorrow for Christmas Eve, so this is one of those spots where context matters just as much as numbers.

I focused on edges created by injuries, matchups, and scheduling — especially teams on back-to-backs where tired legs tend to show up on the defensive end. I stayed away from games with massive spreads (blowout risk) and avoided good defenses on the second leg of a back-to-back.

When teams are tired, I’d much rather fade the defense than force offense — and that’s exactly how this slate sets up.
