⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public bets and money both slightly favor Miami Heat, indicating market alignment, but simulation metrics reveal strong value in fading toward Atlanta’s spread cover and the under given low projected totals. Miami’s injury report shows Terry Rozier out and several questionables (Keshad Johnson, Norman Powell), capping offensive efficiency against Hawks’ home defense averaging 116.9 PPG allowed recently. Hawks’ 6-4 form in last 10 supports a competitive, lower-scoring affair without clear public/sharp divergence forcing a follow.

🔮 Recommended Play
Fade the public on Miami Heat — model edges confirm highest probability on Hawks side.
