+8% on Minnesota -9.5; simulation cover rate of 61% exceeds -110 implied probability of 52%, supported by Minnesota’s 123.2 PPG average and Philadelphia’s subpar form
⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public bets slightly favor Philadelphia +9.5 (54%), with money even heavier at 59% away, creating divergence from ML steam where 84% public and 89% money back Minnesota. Sharp resistance implied by sim’s 61% MIN cover and 78% win prob justifies fading the spread action amid Minnesota’s hot home form (7-3 last 10) despite Gobert out. Overall scoring tilts under with projected 234 total, driven by defensive efficiencies and matchup pace regression.
