Line Movement
Current CHA -15.5 / O/U 236.5 / ML CHA -1350 / IND +800
Movement No movement data available
Heavy juice on -1350 kills value (93% breakeven vs our 18% prob); Pacers +800 ML offers +EV but injuries cap edge
Model: 44.6% win rate | n=202 — N=202 NBA; recent 7d -31u; avoid low conf totals/player props (0-27 props)
FULL ANALYSIS
CHA -15.5 is overreaction to Pacers' injury carnage (6 rotation players out) but RLM + 1.8% sharp edge flags value on IND; Pinnacle fair spread near pick'em despite juice. Massive 21.6% over divergence (fair +104) with 67% EV available screams sharp steam. ML +800 Pacers has real +EV if Haliburton/Siaka carry depleted roster.
SHARP MONEY
RLM on spread (public on home, line favors away); 21.6% sharp divergence on over (Pinnacle fair over at +104 vs retail); weak ML sharp on away
Recommended Sizing
0.5u
Reduced sizing. Edge exists but sample or signal strength is moderate.
