Market Divergence

🧪 SAL's Synthesis

In this matchup, the Boston Celtics are heavily favored against the Brooklyn Nets, creating a game script likely leading to lower minutes for Sam Hauser, thus diminishing his assist opportunities. The evidence strongly supports the Under on Hauser's assists, especially given his trend of averaging just 1.0 assists over the last five games and the Nets' solid defensive setup against wing players. The Net EV of 0.11 indicates that the market is slightly undervaluing this bet, reinforcing confidence in betting the Under 1.5 assists.

Conf: 10%
