Market Divergence
🧪 SAL's Synthesis
Given that the Net EV is slightly negative at -0.05, this suggests that the bet on Morez Johnson Jr. Over 20.5 combined points and rebounds is overpriced compared to its actual likelihood of hitting. The strong defensive presence of Illinois, particularly in the paint, combined with Johnson's inconsistency in pressure games, suggests he might struggle to reach the threshold. Overall, the expected narrative of a tight contest and potential lower individual outputs leads to a decision to pass on this wager.
