🧪 SAL's Synthesis
The bet on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander achieving a double-double does not align with the expected game narrative. While there is a high-scoring expectation due to the game total set at 233.5, Gilgeous-Alexander's recent performance has shown limited contributions in rebounds and assists, and the Nuggets' strong defense poses a significant challenge. Given the negative Net EV of -0.01, it suggests that this wager is overpriced by the bookmaker, indicating it may not be profitable.

🔴 Anti Agent Case
Conf: 90%
Evidence
- →STATS: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's recent averages show only 3.6 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game over his last five games, indicating he is unlikely to reach 10 in either category for a double-double.
- →MATCHUP: The Denver Nuggets have a strong defensive unit, ranking high in limiting assists and rebounds, which will challenge Gilgeous-Alexander's ability to reach double figures in both categories.
- →NARRATIVE: With the spread of Oklahoma City Thunder at -8.0, there's a strong possibility of a blowout, meaning Gilgeous-Alexander could see reduced minutes and opportunities to accumulate stats, adversely affecting his chances for a double-double.
- →TREND: In his last five games against the Denver Nuggets, he has failed to achieve a double-double, averaging only 4.0 rebounds and 6.0 assists in those matchups, indicating a pattern of underperformance.
- →SITUATIONAL: The Thunder are coming off a loss and might tighten their rotation against a strong opponent; combined with potential benching in a blowout scenario, this undermines the likelihood of Gilgeous-Alexander hitting double-double stats.
