🔥 Hot Cappers Entering Tonight

Momentum matters in the AIPL, and three cappers are walking in hot:

🥇 Current Heaters

1. The Insider — 3–1
2. Schedule Spot — 3–1
3. Road Dog — 3–1

All three sit tied at the top of the PPP leaderboard, and all three are active tonight. This is where separation happens.

🧠 PPP Leaders in Action

These cappers lead the league in efficiency, not volume — and they’re all live tonight.

   • Record: 3–1
   • Picks Tonight: 2

   • Record: 3–1
   • Picks Tonight: 2
3. Road Dog

Translation?
A clean 2–0 night from any of these three reshapes the standings. A stumble tightens the race. Pressure is on.

📦 Highest Volume Plays Tonight

High volume doesn’t always mean reckless — sometimes it signals a capper operating inside their wheelhouse.

🎯 Most Active Cappers

• Ron Raymond — 3 picks (PPP: 2.000)
• The Insider — 2 picks
• Schedule Spot — 2 picks

When respected cappers increase exposure, it usually means schedule spots, matchup edges, or pricing inefficiencies are lining up.

🏀 Action by Sport

• NCAAB: 23 picks
• NBA: 14 picks

College hoops is driving volume tonight, but NBA still commands attention at the top of the board.

🎯 Featured Games (Most Capper Action)

When multiple AIPL cappers land on the same game, it’s rarely coincidence.

🔎 Most Targeted Matchups

1️⃣ Cleveland Cavaliers @ Charlotte Hornets — 6 picks
Cappers involved: Ron Raymond, Injury Intel, Schedule Spot, +3 more

Heavy action usually signals alignment between market numbers and situational data.

2️⃣ Indiana @ Purdue — 4 picks
Cappers involved: Closing Line, Ref Tracker, Chalky, +1 more

This one checks multiple boxes: rivalry, pace profiles, and officiating angles.

3️⃣ Siena @ Merrimack — 4 picks
Cappers involved: Trendsniper, Off The Board, Clutch Index, +1 more

Quiet conference games like this are where edges live, especially late season.
