The Art of Finding Edge
Edge exists where the market misprices reality. SwishLand helps you find these opportunities by surfacing information the market hasn't fully absorbed yet.
Breaking Injury Intel
- Real-time injury updates before lines move
- Minute redistribution projections
- Injury beneficiary identification
Context That Matters
- Rest advantages (B2B, travel, days off)
- Opponent defensive weaknesses
- Blowout risk and garbage time potential
Pattern Recognition
- Last 10 game trends with visual charts
- Usage boost badges from injuries
- Matchup-specific player types
The best edges come from combining multiple factors. A player with a usage boost badge, facing a weak opponent defense, with no blowout risk, is a much stronger play than any single factor alone.
Player Tab Overview
The Player Tab is your command center for individual player analysis. It combines projections, historical trends, and contextual intelligence in one place.

Context Sections
Below the main stats, you'll find critical context that affects player performance:
Intel Notes
Real-time updates on injuries, lineup changes, and situational factors that impact this player or their teammates. Updated throughout the day as news breaks.
Opponent Analysis
How the opponent's defense performs against this player's position. Look for defensive weaknesses to exploit.
Rest & Travel
Days since last game, back-to-back status, and travel distance. Fatigue matters, especially late in the season.
Team Tab Overview
The Team Tab gives you a bird's-eye view of an entire roster, making it easy to spot injury value and usage shifts across multiple players at once.

Key Features
Roster Projections
- Every player's projections in one view
- Sorted by projected minutes or usage
- Quickly compare across positions
- Spot depth chart changes
Boost Badges
- Green badges = usage boost from injury
- Shows which players benefit from absences
- Automatically calculated minute redistribution
- Critical for finding injury value plays
Team Intel Bar
- Team-wide injury news at the top
- Lineup confirmations and updates
- Game notes (pace, rest, opponent)
- Updated in real-time throughout the day
When a star player is out, scan the Team Tab for green boost badges. The market often undervalues how minutes get redistributed across multiple players, not just one replacement.
Matchup Tab Overview
The Matchup Tab helps you understand opponent defense and game environment factors that create edges.

Key Components
Misery Index
- Opponent's defensive rating by position
- Lower = worse defense = more points allowed
- Target players facing weak position defenses
- Avoid players facing elite defenders
Player Types
- How opponent performs vs scorers, rebounders, playmakers
- Spot matchup-specific advantages
- Example: Weak vs rim runners, strong vs shooters
- Adjust strategy based on player archetype
Rest & Blowout Analysis
- Rest: Days off for both teams
- B2B: Back-to-back game disadvantage
- Blowout Risk: High = garbage time concern
- Pace and game total expectations
Understanding Intel
Intel is the lifeblood of finding edge before the market moves. SwishLand surfaces breaking news and injury information in real-time.
Intel Notes
- Injury updates (OUT, DOUBTFUL, QUESTIONABLE)
- Lineup confirmations (starting lineup changes)
- Load management and rest days

Injury Beneficiaries

Using the AI Chat
The AI Chat feature lets you ask natural language questions about players, matchups, and betting strategies. It's powered by SwishLand's full dataset.
What You Can Ask
- "Who are the best rebounding plays tonight?"
- "Show me Luka's stats vs the Warriors"
- "Which players benefit if Embiid sits?"
- "What's the Misery Index for centers vs Portland?"
What It Can't Do
- Place bets for you
- Predict exact outcomes
- Access live in-game data
- Provide financial advice
Use the AI Chat to quickly compare multiple players or to ask "what if" questions about injury scenarios. It's faster than clicking through tabs manually.

- Switch to Matchup Tab: Look at Misery Index and player type matchups
- Assess Rest/Blowout: Any fatigue or garbage time concerns?
