Hornets vs Jazz NBA Preview, Picks
This NBA system identifies regular season matchups where efficient but undervalued teams face opponents with poor defensive metrics.
When a team's underlying performance indicators (such as Pythagorean strength) exceed public perception, the betting market often undervalues them against weak defensive opponents that allow high scoring efficiency.
These games typically feature modest moneylines that signal balance but overlook the defensive mismatch.
Slight movement toward the undervalued side reinforces that bettors are slowly recognizing the edge, yet the market remains mispriced.
Over recent seasons, this pattern has rewarded teams whose true performance levels are masked by variance, while exploiting opponents that consistently fail to contain efficient offenses, creating a steady moneyline opportunity.
Overall, the system stands at 307-219 (58%) with a 3% ROI across all-time results. This season, it's off to a 28-19 (60%) start, producing a 9% ROI.
