Tungkol sa Imani Okoro

Imani Okoro built her first NBA rebounding model in a university stats lab and has been refining the thing ever since. Nine seasons on the beat now. She spent four years at a Toronto consultancy pricing player-prop lines for two North American sportsbooks, where she learned that the points-plus-rebounds-plus-assists market gets soft the moment a rotation player picks up an early second foul. At Megapari she covers the NBA and EuroLeague slates, writes the weekly prop card, and handles the boxing book. Her fight-night work leans on a method-of-victory model she trained on 3,100 professional bouts from 2015 onward, weighted for judging tendencies by commission. Imani called the Bivol decision over Beterbiev round-by-round in a preview that ran three days before the card. She also flags when a line is simply not worth betting, which readers seem to appreciate more than the picks.
