How to use it

Look for a player whose role matches a green cell: a scoring guard against a defense that ranks 1st in points to guards, a pass-catching tight end against a team that ranks near the top in yards to TEs. It's a starting point for basketball props and DFS, not a pick on its own. Keep each bet to a small, fixed share of your bankroll (see unit sizing).
