Game Analysis
The market isn't properly weighing Liberty missing Satou Sabally (-6.9% team impact) against Minnesota missing Napheesa Collier (-25%). The Lynx have their scoring engine intact: Miles (18.7), McBride, Howard. Liberty lose their second-most versatile scorer/defender and the line only moved ~1.5 points. Minnesota ML -125 with +2.5 points on the spread is a structural misprice — the book is shading toward the 'big name' Liberty at home. Whale volume leans NY (78% of $14K) but that's a noisy signal with only 9 wallets. The Bayesian fusion shows zero edge but that's because missing player-level impact data cripples the quantitative engines — the edge is structural, not model-derived. Good low-leverage shot on Minnesota.
