⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment and sharp money align heavily on Golden State (58/63% spread), supported by Dallas’ dismal recent form (2-8, -11.8 margin) outweighing mutual injuries. Follow public here as EV confirms no fade value; Curry/Kyrie absences cap scoring but GSW depth edges DAL’s depleted backcourt. Game projects low-mid total with defensive emphasis (AD/Green battle), favoring Under.
