Current CLE -5.5 (away favored)
Movement No movement data available
CLE heavy injury list (Mitchell DTD + 4 others out/DTD) High total (233.5) implies fast pace but injury cascade risk No rest/travel flags detected
Negative EV on CLE ML due to injury risk and road favorite vig; Pelicans undervalued as dog
FULL ANALYSIS
CLE road fave with Mitchell DTD + 4 others compromised = -20% net rating hit, Pelicans get +5.5 value off Murphy's 22PPG usage bump. Total 233.5 ignores guard injury drag on pace (CLE sans Porter/Proctor). NOP ML +170 has 3.2EV vs our 62% prob.
