2–1 NIGHT — STRUCTURE CASHES, MITCHELL OVERRIDE THE ONLY MISS
Result: 2–1 (+ units) | Only Loss: Cavs –14.5
We stayed disciplined, stayed process-driven, and let structure dictate exposure. Two positions converted exactly as modeled. One didn’t — and the why matters.
❌ FADE — Wizards ATS
Cavaliers at Wizards
Final: Cavaliers 130, Wizards 126
Result: LOSS (No Cover)
Call it what it was: a Donovan Mitchell override.
Cleveland had no business trailing by 15 entering the fourth against a 3–20 Washington team. Poor shooting, loose execution, and a third-quarter lapse put the Cavs in a hole — something Mitchell himself acknowledged postgame.
Then urgency flipped the switch.
Mitchell detonated for 24 fourth-quarter points, the highest-scoring 4Q in the NBA this season, personally rescuing the result. He erased the deficit, seized control, and dragged Cleveland to a win that never should’ve required that level of heroics.
Key distinction:
Washington didn’t improve.
They didn’t adjust.
They didn’t close.
They were insulated from the ATS result by elite late-game shot creation.
Broadway takeaway:
The game-state read was right.
The number didn’t clear.
That’s superstar variance — not a broken model.
✅ FADE — Hornets ATS
Bulls at Hornets
Final: Bulls 129, Hornets 126
Result: WIN
This played out exactly as forecast.
Charlotte shot efficiently early, built a double-digit lead, and still failed to establish control. Once tempo increased, structure mattered — and Chicago had it.
Josh Giddey dictated pace, all five Bulls starters finished in double figures, and Chicago methodically unwound the Hornets’ lead without forcing the issue. When execution mattered late, Charlotte unraveled. Chicago didn’t.
Broadway takeaway:
Hot shooting masked structural weakness — until it didn’t.
Bulls –2.5 cashes clean.
✅ PLAY — OVER 5.5
Mammoth vs Kraken
Final: Mammoth 5, Kraken 3
Result: WIN
Classic low-total December chaos.
A scoreless first period didn’t threaten the Over — it set it up. Once the second opened, pace accelerated, special teams swung leverage, and missed conversion windows (Seattle’s extended 5-on-3) permanently altered the game state.
Power-play scoring, late empty-net pressure, and desperation offense pushed this well past the number.
Broadway takeaway:
Low totals price for control.
December delivers volatility.
Over 5.5 clears with margin.
🧠 FINAL WORD
2–1 on the card.
Zoom out and it’s 5–1 over the last two days.
That’s not noise. That’s process showing up on the scoreboard. The reads are sound, the edges are defined, and discipline is doing its job.
This is also where bankroll management matters most.
If you’ve been sizing responsibly and playing this correctly, you’ve already paid for the $10 subscription — realistically on the first trial day. That’s not bravado. That’s math.
No need to press.
No need to chase.
No need to get cute.
We stay patient.
We stay selective.
We let the edge compound.
