🧪 SAL's Synthesis
In this matchup, Khris Middleton is projected to struggle with his rebounding numbers, especially against a strong Dallas Mavericks team that excels in overall rebounding. Given the game's high-scoring nature at a projected total of 238.5, I expect a focus on perimeter shooting rather than allowing Middleton to crash the boards, further supporting the Under on his rebounds. The positive Net EV of 0.08 reflects that this bet is underpriced, aligning with the factors discussed surrounding Middleton's recent performance and the game's narrative.
