Alex Mercer: Welcome to the Daily Sports Evening Edition for Monday, February 23rd. We are moving fast tonight as the board settles and the sharp money starts to lock in its final positions. If you’re looking to get your bets in before tip-off, the windows are closing. We encourage you to jump into Kalshi, Polymarket, or your prediction market app of choice with us; as always, we will be using Polymarket’s data to track where the sharp money is moving. Marcus, the morning board was heavy on the NBA. Let's see where those positions stand before the night slate truly takes over.

Marcus Webb: We have a lot of moving parts tonight, Alex. The key is staying disciplined. We aren't chasing ghosts; we’re following the data.

Alex Mercer: Let’s get into the Re-Verify. First up, how is that initial Spurs vs. Pistons position looking?

Marcus Webb: As we sit here now, just ahead of the 7:00 PM Eastern tip, we are in a Monitor phase. The market hasn't blinked on the spread yet, so we are holding our position. No score to report, but the volume is starting to spike.

Alex Mercer: And the second Spurs vs. Pistons look?

Marcus Webb: Same story. We’re watching the late limit orders. If you haven't filled yet, wait for the first rotation. For now, it’s a Hold.

Alex Mercer: One more on Spurs vs. Pistons—any late injury pivot there?

Marcus Webb: No late scratches that change the math. We are holding the line. We’ll know more once they’re ten minutes into the first quarter, but for now, we stay the course.

Alex Mercer: Moving to the Western clash—what’s the status on Kings vs. Grizzlies?

Marcus Webb: This one tips at 8:00 PM Eastern. We are still in Monitor status. There’s been some slight resistance at the current price, but nothing that forces a bail. Hold your position.

Alex Mercer: Finally, the late-night anchor: Jazz vs. Rockets. How are we playing this?

Marcus Webb: We are monitoring the main line for the 9:30 PM Eastern tip. However, the injury report out of Utah has completely shifted our focus toward the props, which leads us right into our late adds. For the main game line, it’s a Hold while we wait for the sharpest entry point.

Alex Mercer: That’s a perfect transition. Let’s talk about the new blood on the ledger. You’re looking at a specific mismatch in that Jazz vs. Rockets game. Tell me about Sengün Dominance vs Jazz Interior.

Marcus Webb: This is the play of the night. It’s currently trading at 58 cents on the "Over 18.5 points" market. Utah’s interior is a ghost town. Walker Kessler, Jusuf Nurkic, and Jaren Jackson Jr. are all out. That leaves Kyle Filipowski to deal with Alperen Sengün. Sengün is averaging over 20 a game this season, and with Fred VanVleet sidelined, the usage rate is going to be massive. If you can still get this under 65 cents, it’s a high-conviction play. He’s going to feast on a defense that just gave up 76 points in a single half.

Alex Mercer: I love the logic there. Now, let’s pivot to the collegiate side. We have the CBB Public Total Overreaction. What are the sharps saying?

Marcus Webb: This is a classic "pressure" Under, trading right now at 54 cents for the Under 136.5. This is a high-stakes Southland clash with postseason lives on the line. We’ve got a glacial tempo from one side—ranked 301st in the country—and an offense on the other that ranks 322nd in efficiency. The public sees two teams fighting for a tournament spot and thinks "high energy," but the data says this is going to be a low-possession, defensive grind. The tip is at 7:30 PM Eastern, so you need to move now.

Alex Mercer: High stakes, low scoring. I’m on board. Let's do a rapid-fire recap of the Final Portfolio for Monday, February 23rd.

Marcus Webb: Here is the lock-in:
1. Spurs vs. Pistons: Hold.
2. Spurs vs. Pistons (Secondary): Hold.
3. Spurs vs. Pistons (Total/Prop): Hold.
4. Kings vs. Grizzlies: Hold.
5. Jazz vs. Rockets: Hold.
6. Sengün Dominance vs Jazz Interior: Over 18.5 Points (Trading at 58 cents).
7. CBB Public Total Overreaction: Under 136.5 (Trading at 54 cents).

Alex Mercer: Remember those start times: Spurs and Pistons at 7:00, the CBB total at 7:30, and the Kings and Grizzlies at 8:00. We wrap the night in Utah at 9:30 PM Eastern. Get those positions settled.
