⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment heavily favors Suns ML (89%) with sharp money confirming (94%), creating alignment while spread bets balance at 50/50 but money edges home—model follows w/strong cover prob. Utah’s injury crisis (7+ key outs) crushes their ORtg to est. 102, pairing w/Suns solid DRtg ~110 for low-scoring outlook under 218 avg. No RLM but sims/math justify fading even spread public neutrality.
