📉 Line Movement
Line opened at Houston -14.5 and moved to -15.5 with heavy action on the favorite; no reverse movement, indicating consensus support for Houston despite public dominance.

💡 Mathematical Edge (EV)
[+4.2% on Houston spread] – Implied cover probability from -110 odds is 52.4%, but simulation and metrics (Houston +8.7 net rating differential) project 62.5% cover rate, creating positive EV; totals show marginal over edge from pace and efficiency matchups.

Top 3 Player Props
Player Prop #1: Jalen Green / Over 22.5 Points / -110 / 72% / Green’s usage rate (28.5%) and scoring efficiency (24.1 PPG last 10) exploit Nets’ perimeter defense (36.2% 3P allowed); offensive rating boosts in home matchups support over based on recent form and Nets’ weak guard containment.
Player Prop #2: Alperen Sengun / Over 10.5 Rebounds / -115 / 68% / Sengun’s rebounding rate (18.2%) shines against Nets’ poor defensive rebounding (68.4%); Houston’s pace and second-chance opportunities favor over, with historical data showing 11.3 RPG vs similar weak frontcourts.
Player Prop #3: Cam Thomas / Under 18.5 Points / -105 / 65% / Thomas faces Houston’s stout wing defense (109.8 DRtg vs guards); Nets’ offensive struggles (105.2 ORtg) and back-to-back fatigue limit usage, projecting under based on averages (16.8 PPG) in tough matchups.

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment heavily favors Houston, aligning with sharp money and the simulation’s projected outcomes, making a follow on the Rockets the optimal mathematical play rather than a fade. The Nets’ injury-riddled roster and poor defensive metrics amplify Houston’s edge at home. Overall game scoring outlook leans slightly toward the over, driven by Houston’s efficient offense clashing with Brooklyn’s rebounding deficiencies, though defensive adjustments could cap the total near the line.
