💡 Mathematical Edge (EV)
+4.5% Wizards +7.5 (model 59% vs 52% implied); Curry out + public overreaction creates contrarian value, confirmed by spread money disparity.

Top 3 Player Props
Player Prop #1: Bilal Coulibaly / Over Points / 16.5 at -112 / 72% Wizards wing sees 30+ min usage amid Sarr/Black out, recent efficiency vs Warriors-like def (opponents allow 25+ PPG wings); matchup favors 18+ PPG avg.
Player Prop #2: Marvin Bagley / Over Rebounds / 8.5 at -110 / 70% Primary big for depleted Wizards frontcourt (avg 9.2 reb last 5 playable), Warriors thin interior w/Horford out exploits rebounding edge.
Player Prop #3: Trayce Jackson-Davis / Over Rebounds / 9.5 at -112 / 68% Warriors center steps up w/o Moody/Horford, Wizards poor def reb rate (42% opp); usage spike to 12+ reb potential in high-pace spot.

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public heavily skewed 82% bets/87% money on Warriors ML despite Curry sidelined, creating divergence with spread money (57% Wizards +7.5) signaling sharp resistance to favorite; fade optimal as model/sim discounts Warriors probs 8% for inefficiency. Both sides injury-hit (Warriors missing Curry/Moody/Horford, Wizards Sarr/Black), but Wizards leaky def meets Warriors motion offense for over bias vs line. Overall outlook leans moderate scoring with total edge over public under fade.

🔮 Recommended Play
Fade the public on Warriors — Wizards +7.5 holds strongest math/EV alignment.
