You saw that our MPJ Prop Pick just hit. But you might be wondering, ‘how did ShotQuality know?’ Well, let’s take a look behind the curtain of ShotQuality’s prop model.
ShotQuality quantifies the opportunity in each shot. We use advanced AI and computer vision technology to extract precise location data from live video feeds. This allows us to create a detailed expectation of the game, not just for one player, but for every player on the court.
We then blend this understanding of a player’s expected efficiency and the defensive ability of the opposing team with expected usage data. We’re projecting how many shots a player should take with a deeper understanding of the value of every single shot.
Every projection factors in the player’s individual skill, comparing each unique shooter to themselves rather than a league average. This allows for a more accurate expectation and evaluation of a player’s and team’s process. Our data not only makes for more accurate results but also more accurate evaluation of the natural luck involved in basketball.
In this scenario for Porter Jr, our data expected 13 points, which means our win is thanks to some excellent shot making from MPJ, and likley a bit of luck. ShotQuality metrics will use both his actual and expected performance to continue to craft advanced projections as the NBA Playoffs move forward.
