The basics

Line

FanDuel's number for points. Over = more, Under = fewer. Beside it, its low–high range today.

o / u

Over (o) and Under (u) prices: −110 ≈ 52% likely, +120 ≈ 45%.

Prediction

Our points prediction. Brown = he or referees unconfirmed.

Diff %

Prediction above (+) or below (−) the Line: Line 10, Prediction 15 = +50%.

Lean

The side of the Line the Prediction is on. Not a recommendation.

Over, last 5 / 10 / season

3 of 5 = over the model's line in 3 of his last 5 games.

Min prev / avg

His minutes: last game and season average.

Out (team / opp)

Players ruled out: 4 / 8 = 4 on his team, 8 on the opponent. Point at it for names.

Actual

His real stat vs the closing line. Void = he did not play.

Minutes

Minutes he played. Actual and Minutes appear once a game of the date is final.

Default

Player

Player, team vs (home) or @ (away) opponent, tip-off time and the game's state. The name opens his detail

Line

FanDuel's number for him: Over = more, Under = fewer. o / u = the prices; low–high = range today. After tip-off: closing line

Prediction

Our model's prediction of his stat. Brown = he, his position's starter or referees not confirmed; tap or point for why. "–" = model gave 0

Diff %

How far the Prediction is above (+) or below (−) the line shown (the closing line once the game is scored): (Prediction − Line) ÷ Line. +50% = Line 10, Prediction 15

Lean

Over when the Prediction is above the line shown (the closing line once the game is scored), Under when below, Even when equal. It describes the model's number; not advice

Actual

His real stat; under it, the lean's hit or miss against the closing line (Push or Void when none). Shown once games are final

Minutes

Minutes he played; DNP / Inactive = did not play, so void (point at it for why). Shown once games are final, as Actual

Over, last 5

How often he went over the line at prediction: 3 of 5 = he went over in 3 of his last 5 games (fewer than 5 early on)

Group by game

Lists the rows under one header per game, in tip-off order

Preset

Fills the conditions with a built-in or saved preset; changing any value makes it Custom. Thresholds were found on PTS

Line basis

The line the conditions and the summary use: the displayed line (closing once scored) or the line when the prediction was made

Match

All = a row must meet every condition; Any = one is enough. A group counts as one condition

Group match

All = every condition of this group must hold; Any = one of them is enough. The group is one condition of the Match above

Field

What the condition tests: a column, or a value read on the line basis (Prediction − line, Diff %, Over L10 vs selected line…)

Operator

How the field is compared: < ≤ = ≠ ≥ >, is / is not, or is missing / is present. A missing value never counts as 0

Compare with

value = a number you type; field = another field of the same kind on the same row (stat units, %, over-rates…)

Value

The number or text the field is compared with; an over-rate is 0 to 1 (0.5 = 50%). A range is two conditions, e.g. ≥ 10 and < 15

Second field

The field compared with on the same row; only fields of the same kind are listed

Preset name

The name Save preset keeps the conditions under, in this browser only; the same name replaces the old one

Sort

Accuracy (highest first; ties by graded rows, then ID) or the preset ID

Min graded

Hides presets with fewer graded rows (hits + misses) than this

Presets

Built-in Advanced presets: M = Prediction, L = the basis line, A = season average, R = last 3 average, P = previous game, H = stored season over-rate. The thresholds were found on PTS; REB and AST reuse them without a record.
