🧪 SAL's Synthesis
The narrative around Shai Gilgeous-Alexander achieving a triple-double is mixed. While there are compelling statistics and a high total score that suggest he could have ample opportunities, the Nuggets' strong defensive capabilities may significantly limit his production. Additionally, his recent performance shows a lack of cumulative growth across all three required categories, making this bet less attractive despite a slight positive EV of 0.06.

Conf: 98%
Evidence
- →STATS: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's recent averages show 30.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 5.6 assists over the last five games, which totals to only 40.0 combined stats; he hasn't reached close to a triple-double threshold in recent performances.
