Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #2: Jimmy Butler Over 22.5 Points at -110 / 65% Confidence / Elevated role with multiple Heat injuries, exploits Dallas’ perimeter defense (26th in opponent eFG%) with 25.2 PPG last 10 games.
Player Prop #3: Daniel Gafford Over 8.5 Rebounds at -112 / 70% Confidence / Participated in shootaround, feasts on Miami’s weak rebounding (27th rank), averaging 10.1 RPG without key bigs.

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public heavily favors the Heat at 65% but money distribution skews 70% toward Dallas, creating divergence that signals sharp action on the home side amid reverse line movement. However, simulation and injury impacts (Mavs with 6 listed, Heat pivotal player out) tilt value to Heat covering as underdog. Game projects high-scoring with top paces and average total exceeding the line, favoring Over despite defensive reputations.
