Game Analysis
Orlando is down Banchero, Suggs and Isaac — its three highest-leverage two-way players — while Washington sits at full strength in the frontcourt with Ayton, Sarr and Davis. Model-implied line: Wizards -3, total 219.5, WAS ML around -150 fair. That said, there are zero market prices for this game, so no exception can be accompanied to a real spread read; the spread and total belong only to LEAN tier, and the rebound edge (Ayton over 10.5 vs a Bitadze-led center rotation) is the cleanest single signal of the day.
