About Jessica
Jessica Chen is BettingOffice's Senior NBA Analyst. A former Athletic and ESPN NBA reporter with a decade of league coverage, Jessica leans on a model-driven approach paired with locker-room context — rotation charts, coaching tendencies, rest-advantage patterns and player-prop efficiency.
She specialises in pre-game analysis where a quantifiable edge can be isolated from the public narrative: total points movements driven by pace mismatches, stealth role changes after an injury, and line-shopping opportunities on secondary player props. Every piece she publishes links to the source data that drove the call — we show our work.
