Question 1

What is a first 3 minutes scoring prop?

Accepted Answer

A first 3 minutes scoring prop is a bet on how many points a player will score in the opening 3 minutes of Q1. This dashboard shows historical hit rates for each threshold (0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5 points) based on ESPN play-by-play data.

Question 2

How is the hit rate calculated?

Accepted Answer

Hit rate is the percentage of games where a player scored at or above the selected points threshold in the first 3 minutes of Q1. For example, a 75% hit rate at 1.5 points means the player scored 2 or more points in the first 3 minutes in 75% of their games.

Question 3

What do the game window filters mean?

Accepted Answer

Game windows let you filter by recency: L5 shows the last 5 games, L10 the last 10, L20 the last 20, and Season shows all games played this season. Recent windows help identify hot or cold trends.

Question 4

How often is this data updated?

Accepted Answer

Play-by-play data is ingested daily at 7 AM ET via ESPN's API. New games from the previous night are automatically added each morning.
