After Friday's full board, attention moves to Sunday's final regular-season slate where all 15 games close the seeding phase before play-in week.
Why the final day is still a pricing event
Even when many positions look close to settled, late scratches, minute limits and matchup incentives can swing both side and total markets quickly.
Play-in context already affects Sunday behavior
Teams balancing immediate seeding upside against short-turnaround risk tend to show the clearest rotation signals. That creates opportunity for bettors who wait for confirmed availability.
Practical approach
Treat Sunday as an information-heavy trading window: narrow to the games with real incentive, avoid forcing pre-market positions too early, and use late-confirmed lineups as the main trigger.
