Line: 227.5
Decomposed ratings project 230.1 and NegBin projects 230.0 combined vs the market's 227.5, giving a 2.5-2.6 point lean to the over even after the 5-point totals confidence haircut.
Game Analysis
OMEGA's blended model projects 119.8-107.1 (scoring model 70/team strength 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.

Model projection (no market line supplied); bench scoring role vs Dallas's depleted second unit, favorable spot but thinner signal.
PROP ALERT
Naji Marshall

Model projection (no market line supplied); injury cascade gives Marshall added wing usage if Christie sits, though Kyrie status clouds the backcourt distribution.
