About this app

HeatCheckr tells you instantly which games are actually worth your time, without spoiling the outcome. Every game gets an excitement score and smart labels so you know exactly what you're getting into.

EXCITEMENT SCORES
Skip the 30-point blowouts. Find the instant classics. Every game is analyzed using real NBA play-by-play data and a custom-built scoring system that evaluates 30+ factors, including:
▸ Close finishes and clutch moments
▸ Lead changes and game flow
▸ Overtime thrillers
▸ High-scoring shootouts

GAME LABELS
Not all exciting games are the same. We assign individual labels so you know why a game is worth watching:
▸ Nail Biter Ending – Game decided in final seconds
▸ Scoring Explosion – Offensive masterclass
▸ Chaos Ball – Turnovers and loose possessions everywhere
▸ Easy Win – Comfortable lead from start to finish
▸ Blowout Alert – Not even close
▸ And many more

WEEKLY HEAT REPORT
▸ Catch up on the best games from this week or last week, all in one place
▸ Share the report with friends to enjoy the top matchups together

What’s new

Smarter Excitement Scoring
- Games that stayed close through three quarters before one team pulled away in Q4 now get an appropriate bonus
- Bonus for elite 40+ point games, boosted further when two players go off together
Playoff Challenge Fixes
- Wrong winner = no length bonus. "Houston in 6" when Lakers win in 6 no longer gives +3. The full pick (winner + length) has to be right.
- Excitement score prediction still scores independently of who wins
