Public and money heavily aligned on Wolves ML signaling consensus favorite, but divergent spread action with money on Pacers +12.5 offers contrarian value confirmed by sim edge and bilateral injuries neutralizing star power.

Fade public ML overexposure via spread while following total sharp money.
