Negative EV on Miami moneyline; the -298 price requires a 74.9% win rate to break even, and our model projects only 72%.
FULL ANALYSIS
Miami is a heavy favorite at -298, but the spread of -7.5 offers marginal value on the Pelicans. The total of 232.5 is high, and a slight lean to the under is supported by Miami's defensive potential. Player props on Bam, Giannis, Murray, and Murphy offer the clearest edges based on matchup and usage projections.
