🧪 SAL's Synthesis

The bet on De'Aaron Fox Under 5.5 assists does not strongly align with the expected game script. While Fox's recent performance suggests he may struggle to exceed this number, the Pistons' fast pace and high game total indicate a conducive environment for scoring opportunities, making it potentially easier for Fox to surpass the threshold. The Net EV of 0.04, while slightly positive, does not provide enough confidence to make this a viable wager given the factors indicating that Fox could thrive in a high-paced matchup.

🟢 Pro Agent Case

Evidence

→STATS: De'Aaron Fox has averaged only 5.6 assists over his last five games, which is only slightly above the threshold of 5.5, indicating a likelihood of struggling to exceed that number consistently.
