RANK	OPTION	TYPE	SENTIMENT	RATIONALE
1	Thunder ML	Moneyline	BULLISH (A)	74% C.O.W. (Chance of Winning) at home.
2	Under 212.5	Total	BULLISH (A+)	Game 7 historical trend; high defensive focus.
3	Spurs +3.5	Spread	NEUTRAL (B)	Late-game variance suggests a 1-possession game.
4	Wemby Over 3.5 Blocks	Prop	BULLISH (A)	Consistent rim protection in must-win games.
5	SGA Over 27.5 Points	Prop	BULLISH (B+)	Statistical bounce-back following sub-par Game 6.

TECHNICAL VERDICT

The data favors Oklahoma City to win straight up (SU) but suggests a significant risk in laying the points (-3.5) due to the Spurs’ recent momentum and Wembanyama’s defensive impact. The most clinical play is the UNDER 212.5, aligning with AIPL “Wall Street meets Vegas” logic for high-stakes elimination games.
