Game Analysis
Omega model projects tight 103-100 Bucks win (-3.0 spread edge) despite Milwaukee's injury carnage (Turner/Kuzma/Prince/Rollins out) as Celtics also missing Vucevic. Model 47% NBA hit rate over N=174 requires discipline—ML profitable in calibration but EV razor thin at -101. Totals losing across all tiers (34-41%) with 203.0 projection; heavy injuries both sides cap pace.
