🧪 SAL's Synthesis

I recommend a lean bet on De'Aaron Fox Under 22.5 points + assists. The game is anticipated to feature solid defensive efforts, particularly from the Spurs, and a closely contested matchup which typically results in lower point totals for key players. The Net EV of 0.06 suggests that the market might have overlooked those aspects, as Fox has averaged only 20.4 points in his recent games, indicating a struggle to meet the combined total despite his overall scoring potential this season.
