⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors the Heat on spread and moneyline, but divergent money distribution with 61% on Suns suggests sharp action fading the favorite amid Miami’s recent losses and injuries to Rozier and questionable Powell. Math aligns with following sharp money on Phoenix, as EV calculations confirm value without overreacting to hype.
