Basketball Prediction Explained

Player props are tips on what one basketball player will do in the game, such as points, rebounds, assists, or threes.

First quarter winner is a short-term basketball tip on which team leads after the opening 12 minutes.

A team total is a tip on how many points one basketball team will score, regardless of what the opponent does.

ATS means against the spread. It tells you whether a team covered the line, not just whether it won the game outright.

The spread is a handicap that gives one team a points head start and asks the other team to win by enough margin. It is one of the main ways to tip on basketball beyond the straight moneyline.

Moneyline in basketball means picking the straight-up winner, with no point spread attached to the tip.
