scoring model+team strength projects a 20.7-point gap (129.1-108.4) with Memphis 6-1 and firing 127.2 EWMA vs Indiana 107.7 on 1-4 road form
Ω Bottom Line
Grizzlies' 127.2 EWMA offense vs shorthanded 2-6 Pacers drives a 20.7-point model gap and 240.6 implied total — but with zero market data and five Indiana day-to-day tags, cap everything at LEAN tier.

Game Analysis
No sportsbook lines exist on this game, so every price below is an OMEGA projection (source: omega_model) — treat as reference only, not a bet. Model scores MEM 114.5 / IND 112.0 with Indiana missing McConnell plus Zubac's defensive anchor ~-20% team impact. Memphis 54.6% ML, spread -2.5, total 226.5. Haliburton assist projection 9.5+ with McConnell OUT as the lone clear edge, though sample size is unverified (N/A).
