🧪 SAL's Synthesis
Given the projections for this game, Cason Wallace is likely facing a tough matchup against the Denver Nuggets' strong defense, which could limit his opportunities for rebounds and assists. Additionally, his recent trend of declining stats and reduced minutes suggests that he may struggle to exceed 5.5 combined rebounds and assists. The Net EV of 0.06 is positive but not strong enough to warrant a confident bet, especially when considering the matchups and flow of the game.
