Market

Market
- ML: HOU 82.5% / UTA 17.5%

5. Lower-Priority / Lean-Only Spots
- Blazers +12.5 vs OKC – small ATS edge only; mainly useful as a supporting leg.
- PHI–ATL Over 233.5 – positive but smaller total edge vs other spots.
- UTA–HOU Under 235.5 – mild edge, already incidental if stacking Unders elsewhere.
These can be used to round out exposure but are not core positions in the Smart Money portfolio.
