πŸ“ˆ NBA Market Watch β€” Tuesday, February 3, 2026

Raymond Report | ATS STATS
Teams are assets. The SBI is the market. Let’s talk like investors.

The NBA betting board tonight isn’t about β€œwho wins.” It’s about where the market is flowing. The Sports Betting Index (SBI) is our S&P 500 β€” and right now, it’s flashing a very clear signal:

Favorites = Bullish. Totals = Mixed. ATS = Neutral.

That means we don’t chase noise. We allocate capital to assets outperforming the market cycle and fade the ones bleeding value.

Let’s break down the Top NBA assets on tonight’s Raymond Report board and see how they stack up against the NBA SBI market conditions.


🟒 BULLISH ASSETS (Outperforming the SBI)

These teams are acting like blue-chip stocks in a rising market β€” aligned with the bullish SU favorite trend (65% YTD).

πŸ”₯ New York Knicks (A)

  • Market Role: Mega-Cap Momentum Stock
  • Cycle: BULLISH
  • COW: 83.33%
  • Signal: 8 straight Unders, dominant SU profile
  • Takeaway: The Knicks are executing exactly how a bullish favorite should in this SBI climate. Discipline. Control. No chaos.

🧱 Boston Celtics (A)

  • Market Role: Defensive Dividend Stock
  • Cycle: BULLISH
  • STK: 5 Unders
  • Market Fit: Perfectly aligned with neutral-to-bearish total conditions
  • Takeaway: Boston isn’t flashy β€” it’s efficient. That’s how you protect capital.

πŸš€ Detroit Pistons (A)

  • Market Role: Quiet Growth Asset
  • Cycle: BULLISH
  • vs A/B/C: 70%+ across the board
  • Takeaway: Detroit doesn’t get headlines β€” just returns. The market hasn’t fully priced this in yet.

🟑 NEUTRAL ASSETS (Market-Dependent Plays)

These teams move with the index. You don’t force positions here β€” you wait for confirmation.

⚑ Oklahoma City Thunder (A)

  • Market Role: Momentum Tech Stock
  • STK: 2 Overs
  • COW: 60%
  • Risk: Totals market is neutral β†’ tread carefully
  • Takeaway: Talent is real. Timing matters more.

πŸ–οΈ Miami Heat (B)

  • Market Role: Mid-Cap Volatility Asset
  • STK: ATS bounce-back
  • Concern: Weak vs C-grade teams historically
  • Takeaway: Not broken β€” just inconsistent.

πŸŒ„ Denver Nuggets (A)

  • Market Role: Long-Term Hold
  • STK: 4 straight Overs
  • Issue: Overs fighting a neutral/bearish totals SBI
  • Takeaway: Fundamentals strong, but market wind isn’t at their back.

πŸ”΄ BEARISH ASSETS (Underperforming the SBI)

These are assets out of sync with a bullish favorite market. Smart investors don’t average down β€” they step aside.

🧊 Utah Jazz (C)

  • Cycle: BEARISH
  • STK: 6 straight SU losses
  • Takeaway: This asset is in a full drawdown. No hedge saves bad form.

🧱 Brooklyn Nets (C)

  • Market Role: Dead Money
  • COW: 20%
  • Takeaway: Capital trapped. Liquidity gone. Hard pass.

🦌 Milwaukee Bucks (C)

  • STK: 5 ATS losses
  • Market Fit: Poor alignment with bullish favorite trend
  • Takeaway: Name value β‰  market value.

🧨 Washington Wizards (C)

  • Market Role: Penny Stock
  • COW: 16.67%
  • Takeaway: Speculation only. Investors stay away.

πŸ“Š SBI MARKET SUMMARY (THE BIG PICTURE)

Market SBI Signal Investor Read
Sides (SU) BULLISH Favorites Ride strength
Totals Neutral / Bearish Avoid chasing Overs
ATS Neutral Let price dictate

🧠 FINAL INVESTOR TAKE

This isn’t a guessing game β€” it’s portfolio management.

  • βœ”οΈ Favor A-grade teams in bullish cycles
  • ❌ Avoid C-grade assets fighting the SBI
  • ⚠️ Respect that ATS is neutral β€” discipline matters

If you want to stop betting like a fan and start thinking like a market investor, this is the edge.

And yeah… this is exactly what ATS STATS members see before the public catches up.
