Line: 119.8

Game Analysis
OMEGA's Poisson model projects a 90.8–88.1 game (total 179.0) — a staggering 59.2 points above the market total of 119.8. That gap is either the biggest contrarian edge of the year or a model input error. The spread side is cleaner: OMEGA line -2.5 vs market -5.5 gives the Knicks +5.5 a +3-point value advantage, with the Bayesian posterior showing 57.4% cover probability vs 50% de-vigged market. Sharp money direction is split — books lean away (+1.4% edge) but whales ($7.6M, 76% home) push hard for Spurs. Prediction markets (Kalshi 89.5% away) massively diverge from books. Data quality is degraded (59%) and 6/27 signals are missing, so all confidence is reduced 4 points. This is a play on the numbers, not the narrative — but the numbers have warning lights blinking.
