⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public leans heavily toward the Heat, but divergent money distribution and RLM point to sharp caution, making a fade on the spread viable if injuries worsen. Math favors following the sim’s edge on Miami’s win probability without forcing contrarianism. Overall game outlook trends low-scoring due to deliberate paces and defensive focus, with totals under in 6 of Heat’s last 8 home games.
