Game Analysis
No book lines, but model-implied odds show value on Wild +0.5. Dallas missing two key skaters (Tiefensee, Blackwell) drops home scoring projection ~25%. Monte Carlo sims have Wild covering 61.4% of the time. Bayesian fusion also tilts away (+4.8pp). Total is a secondary lean – 58.6% over from simulation, but historical totals underperformance keeps confidence capped. No sharp money data, but direction aligns with injury edge. Bet the spread; skip the moneyline (edge below 1%).
