AI Game Analysis

Magic gutted without Wagner (22+ ppg threat), Isaac (defense), and Black (depth) — that's 40% of their rotation sidelined. Charlotte healthy, motivated in divisional spot with Ball (7.2 apg) and Miller (20.3 ppg) exploiting depleted Orlando wings. Market hasn't fully priced the injury massacre at -4.5. Low unit due to model infancy.
