Market Divergence
🧪 SAL's Synthesis
The Milwaukee Bucks have recently shown some positive momentum with their two-game winning streak, but their overall inconsistency and low win percentage raise concerns, especially against a significantly stronger Knicks team. The weaker narrative support from the anti agent suggests that the Knicks, with their much better record, are likely to dominate this matchup. With a Net EV of 0.03, the slight edge does not outweigh the solid reasons to anticipate a Knicks victory, making this wager less enticing.

🔴 Anti Agent Case
Conf: 80%
Evidence
