🧪 SAL's Synthesis
This wager on Luguentz Dort Under 4.5 combined rebounds and assists makes sense given the projected game script and the identified factors. With Dort averaging only 3.8 in his last five games and facing a strong defensive rebounding team like the Nuggets, his opportunities are likely to diminish further, especially if the Thunder find themselves in a blowout scenario. The Net EV of 0.09 suggests that the market may have underestimated this bet, backed by the evidence of Dort's limited contributions and the matchup dynamics.
