The expectation of a blowout with the Rockets favored by 13.5 points suggests Jabari Smith Jr. could have his minutes limited if the game gets out of hand, impacting his ability to exceed 23.5 points, rebounds, and assists. Both agents present strong arguments, but the game script favors the under, particularly due to the precarious nature of Smith's current scoring trend against a tough defensive matchup. Therefore, the Net EV of 0.05, while positive, does not provide sufficient confidence to warrant a bet given the sizable spread implications.
