FULL ANALYSIS
OKC gets +12% net rating edge with Vucevic out—Holmgren feasts on Queta mismatch (proj +2.4 REB). SGA's 33.2 proj vs BOS weak guard D moves needle to 64.5% win prob. Total drops to 216.3 sans BOS big; under has +18% EV historical in center-out spots.
SHARP MONEY
Away -115 on spread sharper than home -105 despite public likely on Boston at home; low confidence due to no RLM/steam data
