Game Analysis

Lakers get 55.9% MC home win prob vs +121 model ML (9.7% edge) despite missing Doncic/Reaves/Smart - LeBron/Ayton usage spikes offset injuries. Thunder favored by ELO (-10.6) but Poisson/MC converge on tight 103-100 game. Model 0-4 on recent H2H, data quality degraded (50%) caps confidence; favor ML over spread.
