Match the market to your read

The favourite price is too short
Try the Handicap, for example Knicks (-4.5) at 1.919 instead of the moneyline at 1.525.
You read the pace
Use Total or a team total. A star out can make one side’s total the better bet.
You trust one player
Players’ stats let you back a star’s points without picking the winner.
You expect a slow start
Look at 1 Half or a single quarter, where the totals are smaller.
