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.

The Cheat Sheet updates throughout the day as lineups are confirmed and injury statuses change. Check back closer to game time for the most current data.
