⚖️ Analysis Summary
No public or sharp money data available, defaulting to simulation and provided recent form where both teams trend low-scoring (summer league avgs ~180 total). Mathematical edge favors Cavaliers on spread and ML due to projected superior efficiency and home court. Game outlook leans neutral on total with solid defenses limiting pace-adjusted output.
