Market Divergence

🧪 SAL's Synthesis

Given the narratives surrounding Isaiah Joe's performance, this bet on the Under 2.5 three-pointers does not confidently align with my expectations for this game. While Joe has struggled recently with a low shooting percentage and his minutes have been decreasing, the high total of 233.5 suggests increased scoring opportunities, which could lead to more chances for him to hit threes if he plays. Additionally, the tight Net EV of 0.06 indicates that the market is relatively balanced regarding this bet, making it less appealing for action.
