MovementNo movement detected from opening spread
Home ML at -620 requires 86.1% breakeven vs our 78.0% posterior - heavily negative EV. Per the ML value filter, confidence is set to 50 (PASS); the San Antonio spread at -112 is the only market with positive expected value.
FULL ANALYSIS
OMEGA's blended model projects 119.8-107.1 (Poisson 70/ELO 30), one full point through the -11.5 market price, and the NegBin run agrees at 121.4-108.6 with a 77.5% home win probability. The exploitable number isn't the -620 ML (86.1% breakeven, massively negative EV) - it's San Antonio -11.5 at -112 while Dallas plays without Dereck Lively II and Santi Aldama up front, with Kyrie Irving still day-to-day. Take the spread at 1u, tease the 227.5 over at half a unit off the 230.0-230.1 model projections, and cap everything at 65 since this sport has no validated pricing cell.
SHARP MONEY
OMEGA line (-12.5) and the NegBin model (77.5% home win prob) both run ~1 point through San Antonio relative to the market's -11.5 with no reverse movement recorded; moderate model-only signal given limited pricing streams.
Recommended Sizing

Reduced sizing. Edge exists but sample or signal strength is moderate.
