DvP, ranked 1 to 30
Position-aware defensive matchups, sorted toughest to easiest.
Not every defense is equally bad against every prop. The Mavs might rank 3rd against opposing point guards and 27th against centers — wing scoring against them lives somewhere in the middle. A general "good defense" or "bad defense" label loses that signal.
DvP — defense vs. position — is the position- and stat-specific ranking. We compute it for every team, every position, every prop type, and surface it on every relevant row of the table.
What the rank means
For a given prop type and the player's position, we rank all 30 teams by how often that position has crossed the line against them this season. Rank 1 is the toughest matchup (lowest cross rate). Rank 30 is the easiest. The number in the table is your shortcut: low equals hard, high equals easy.
How to read it
- 1–10 — top tier defense. Skew under or fade props confidently.
- 11–20 — middle of the league. Matchup is neutral; lean on form and line value.
- 21–30 — bottom tier defense. Position-friendly matchup; tailwind for overs.
- Rating tooltip — hover the cell and you see exactly how many of that stat the team allows per game to that position.
How we calculate it
We aggregate every box score from the current season, bucketed by opponent team, prop position, and stat. Rates are recency-weighted — recent games count more than season-opening blowouts. For early-season slates we blend in last season's rates to avoid 5-game noise. Rankings update after every slate.
