Player Prop #2: John Collins / Over 8.5 Rebounds / -110 / 70% / Collins avg 9.2 reb last 10; Warriors weak on boards (allow 48% opp reb rate), frontcourt edge.

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public and money splits align heavily on Warriors +4 (64%/65%), indicating consensus fade of Clippers, but model and recent form (Clippers +4.9 margin) support home favorite cover with positive EV. Sharp action appears public-driven without RLM confirmation; injuries (Kawhi Q, Draymond Q) temper offenses but Clippers home D holds firm. Game projects low-scoring (avg sim total 225.8) due to defensive metrics and late-season pace slowdown.
🔮 Recommended Play
Fade the public on Warriors +4 / Follow Clippers spread and under — mathematical edge favors Clippers cover and sub-226.5 total.
