🧪 SAL's Synthesis

Given the expected tightly contested match between the San Antonio Spurs and Detroit Pistons, De'Aaron Fox is likely to face significant defensive pressure from a strong Spurs team that limits opposing guards effectively. Coupled with Fox's recent struggles in scoring, averaging just 20.4 points in the last five games, it's reasonable to expect a performance below the 22.5 total for points and assists. The Net EV of 0.08 indicates that the market may have undervalued this bet based on the existing evidence.
