⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public heavily favors Denver ML in alignment with sharp money, but spread shows divergence with money on OKC—sim and injuries justify contrarian Denver cover. OKC’s key absences (SGA, Holmgren, Hartenstein, Williamses) cripple offense/defense against Denver’s streak. Game projects low-scoring under due to OKC limitations despite Denver’s high offensive pace.
🔮 Recommended Play
Fade the public on OKC spread / Follow the public with Denver — sim-backed edge on home dominance.
