Negative EV on home ML; positive on away spread cover (+8.1) and over (+9.0) due to calibrated edges of +6.6pp and +7.1pp
FULL ANALYSIS
Market overprices Houston -4 despite Omega -2.5 and Bayesian 56.6% Lakers cover prob (+6.6pp edge), amplified by net injury hit to Rockets (-20.7% vs -13.8%). Total 114.2 is wildly low vs 179 Omega/181 decomposed, sharp 19.2% over edge with 57.1% posterior. Whales home but sharps/pred markets (60.5% away) + MC 51.8% home -2.5 cover contradict—fade to away spread/over.
SHARP MONEY
Sharp edge 3.0% on away ML + 19.2% on over total; prediction markets extreme divergence to away (-24.1%) despite whales on home
