The Donaghy Effect
NBA/WNBA Player Props & Game Analytics
AI-powered betting analytics giving probabilities for player props, team ATS, and O/U to indicate where +EV opportunities are. Our models use historical data vs historical lines and consider referee-specific context (coming soon) to help you find edges. Unlike others we don't do simple hit rates.

About The Donaghy Effect
Our models use historical data with referee-specific context to generate probability distributions for each prop. Rather than relying on simple averages or hit rates like other sites, we account for variance in player and team performance, matchup dynamics, and officiating crew tendencies. This approach helps identify when bookmaker lines diverge from actual player and team performance patterns, highlighting where edges and positive expected values are available.

FAQ: NBA Betting Analytics
How do you calculate expected value (+EV)?
We convert book odds to implied probabilities, compare to our model probability, and compute EV = (probability × win_payout) - ((1-probability) × stake). Positive EV indicates the bet is mathematically profitable long-term.
Do you cover ATS and totals?
Yes. Our matchup pages show ATS (against the spread) and O/U (over/under) probabilities with distribution curves, team context, and referee impact analysis.
How accurate are your player prop predictions?
We use historical data with referee context to model probability distributions. Our approach accounts for variance in player performance and situational factors like matchups and officiating crew tendencies.
What makes referee analysis important for betting?
Different referees have measurably different tendencies in calling fouls, which affects pace of play, free throws, and game totals. Our models incorporate referee assignments into predictions.
