🔴 Anti Agent Case

Conf: 85%

Evidence

→STATS: Despite averaging 3.8 blocks per game this season, in the last 5 games, Wembanyama managed only 1.0 blocks per game against weaker defensive matchups, indicating a decline in this stat.
→MATCHUP: The Detroit Pistons have several athletic players who can avoid Wembanyama’s shot-blocking abilities, particularly with their quick guards and forwards, which may limit his opportunities to block shots.
→NARRATIVE: Given the spread of only 1.5 points in this matchup, it suggests a competitive game where both teams may keep their starters on the court longer rather than situations where Wembanyama might block more shots due to blocked possessions.
→TREND: Recently, Wembanyama has shown underperformance in blocks, having recorded only 1 block in 3 of the last 5 games, which reflects inconsistency in reaching 2 blocks.
→SITUATIONAL: With the Spurs on an 8-game winning streak, they may rely more on their offensive play, potentially leading to fewer defensive engagements and thus less opportunity for Wembanyama to register blocks.

Thesis: strong

Market: strongly disagree
