⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public bets and money splits show mild alignment on Spurs across spread and moneyline, supported by math and sim favoring home cover amid Spurs’ elite recent form (126 PPG, +17 margin) and Denver’s questionable stars (Jokic, Murray, Gordon). Contrarian value emerges on under total as Denver’s recent low-scoring outputs (avg 106 PPG) and injury-impacted pace clash with line despite public over lean. Overall low-scoring outlook with Spurs defense holding opponents to 109 PPG recently.
