Welcome to the NBA DFS Defensive Efficiency Matchups (DEM) research sheets! This is a sheet created by Paydirt to help people find the best spots to attack on each team in the NBA. The purpose here is to isolate weak points on teams based on how much better or worse they are than league average. This is done by normalizing the stat based on the accumulation based on minutes and comparing it against the league average. You can use these models for things like DFS and sports betting or just because you like to know this kind of stuff.
