🔴 Anti Agent Case

Conf: 30%

Evidence

→STATS: Despite averaging 6.4 assists in his last 5 games, Castle has not consistently exceeded the 14.5 points and assists alternate threshold in recent matchups, as his overall scoring remains tied to efficiency and volume.
→MATCHUP: The San Antonio Spurs are currently ranked second in defensive efficiency, which could limit Castle's ability to create shots and get assists, as the Spurs are adept at stifling playmaking guards.
→NARRATIVE: With the game total set at a high 232.5, there is potential for scoring; however, the closeness of the spread (Detroit -1.5) suggests a competitive game, where shots might be harder to come by in crucial moments, thus limiting Castle's opportunities.
→TREND: In the last game against the Spurs, Castle had only 2 assists in 28 minutes, signaling that he may struggle to replicate his recent assists average against this specific opponent.
→SITUATIONAL: Both teams are currently on winning streaks, which could lead to more competitive and defensive-minded play rather than the offensive focus needed for Castle to exceed 14.5 combined points and assists.
