Market Divergence

🧪 SAL's Synthesis

Given the overall narrative suggesting a low-scoring game (total of 218.5) and the Milwaukee Bucks potentially being behind (spread of +8.5), Myles Turner is likely to see fewer opportunities from beyond the arc. His recent trend of averaging 0.6 made threes in his last five games against a strong Knicks perimeter defense reinforces the expectation he will remain under 1.5 made threes. The Net EV of 0.06 indicates a slight value in this bet, as it suggests the market is mispricing Turner's potential based on his recent performances and matchup dynamics.

🟢 Pro Agent Case

Conf: 35%

Evidence

→STATS: Myles Turner has recently averaged only 0.6 three-pointers made over the last five games (not exceeding 1.5) with a 3P percentage of 34.6%, which is below average for a consistent three-point shooter.
→MATCHUP: The New York Knicks have a strong defensive perimeter presence, which could limit Turner's attempts and success from beyond the arc, especially as they focus on protecting against effective shooters.
→NARRATIVE: This game features a total of 218.5, suggesting a potential for lower scoring, which typically results in fewer three-point attempts as teams may focus on more efficient scoring methods closer to the basket.
→TREND: Over his last five games, Turner has only hit 1 or fewer three-pointers in four out of the five games, indicating a downward trend in shooting frequency and effectiveness from deep.
→SITUATIONAL: The spread of +8.5 indicates that the Milwaukee Bucks are likely to be behind in the game, which could result in limited minutes for Turner if he is not contributing significantly on the offensive end.

🔴 Anti Agent Case

Conf: 25%

Evidence

→STATS: Myles Turner has a 3P% of 39.6% for the season, indicating strong shooting ability from beyond the arc, and he has averaged 3.4 FG made per game, suggesting opportunities to hit three-pointers.
→MATCHUP: The Bucks' defense allows a significant number of three-point attempts, which should give Turner opportunities to exploit, especially as a stretch big against opposing frontcourt players.
→NARRATIVE: The high total of 218.5 indicates a fast-paced game, which typically leads to more possessions and shot opportunities, increasing the likelihood that Turner will surpass 1.5 threes.
→TREND: In recent games, Turner registered a 3P% of 34.6 over the last five games, which, when combined with an increase in minutes played, suggests he is likely to see enough shot attempts to exceed the 1.5 mark.
→SITUATIONAL: The large spread of +8.5 suggests the Bucks may be in catch-up mode, leading to increased three-point shooting across the team, which could also benefit Turner and give him additional scoring chances.
