⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment heavily favors Thunder ML/spread with sharp money alignment (93%), justified by Utah’s 7 key outs crippling offense/defense. No contrarian fade warranted as EV positive following market; sim confirms blowout potential. Overall low-scoring outlook with OKC D (105.5 allowed) and Jazz injuries suppressing pace/totals below line.
