💡 Mathematical Edge (EV)
+4.2% EV on Houston spread cover and +6.8% on under, driven by simulation probabilities exceeding implied odds and injury impacts reducing Dallas’ offensive output.

Top 3 Player Props
– Player Prop #1: Alperen Sengun / Over 21.5 Points / -110 / 72% / Sengun’s 22.2 PPG average against weakened frontcourts like Dallas’ (Lively out) and high usage rate support exceeding this line in a favorable matchup.
– Player Prop #2: Luka Doncic / Under 28.5 Points / -115 / 68% / With Irving sidelined, defensive focus intensifies on Doncic, whose efficiency drops in high-usage spots per on/off metrics, favoring the under.
– Player Prop #3: Jalen Green / Over 4.5 Assists / +105 / 70% / Green’s playmaking rises at home (5.2 APG last 5), exploiting Dallas’ backcourt injuries for more opportunities.

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment heavily favors the Rockets, aligning with sharp money and line movement toward Houston, making a follow strategy optimal rather than fading. Dallas’ injuries to key players like Irving and Lively severely hamper their offense, while Houston’s defensive rating holds strong. Overall game outlook leans low-scoring, with both teams’ pace and rebounding rates suggesting the under hits easily.
