What Is the Cheat Sheet?
The Cheat Sheet is a single-page reference designed to give you everything you need to evaluate a player prop at a glance. Instead of jumping between multiple tabs and data sources, the Cheat Sheet brings the most important context together.
What You See for Each Player
- Confirmed starting lineup — Know who is actually playing. Late scratches change everything.
- Injury and status updates — Real-time injury designations so you never bet on a player who is out or limited.
- Last 15 games — A rolling window of recent performance. This captures current form, not season-long averages that may be stale.
- Last 3 games vs. opponent — Head-to-head recent history. Some players consistently perform well or poorly against specific teams.
- Defensive ranking — How the opponent ranks defensively against the relevant stat. Facing the #1 defense against the pass is very different from facing #30.
- Opponent position ranking — How the opponent defends the player's specific position. A center may feast against one team's frontcourt while struggling against another.
Why Context Matters
Raw projections are only half the picture. A projection of 22.5 points means something very different when:
- The player's co-star is confirmed out (more usage available).
- They are facing the #2 defense in the league.
- They scored 30+ in their last 3 games against this opponent.
The Cheat Sheet surfaces these factors so you can quickly assess whether the context supports or undermines a given line.
How to Read the Cheat Sheet
Start with the matchup. Check the opponent's defensive ranking for the stat you are evaluating. Then look at recent form — the last 15 games give you a feel for where the player is right now. Finally, check the head-to-head: some matchups produce consistently high or low outputs.
