🧪 SAL's Synthesis
In this game, the likelihood of Noah Clowney hitting over 1.5 threes seems low, given the expected narrative of the Boston Celtics dominating the game, potentially leading to reduced minutes for Clowney. Additionally, the Celtics' strong defensive play against forwards and Clowney's limited shot volume further support the case for an Under bet. With a Net EV of 0.13, the bet is slightly favorable, but not compelling enough considering the factors that indicate a strong potential for Clowney to struggle in this matchup.
🟢 Pro Agent Case
Conf: 25%
Evidence
- →STATS: Noah Clowney's recent 3P% is 42.2%, which indicates that while he has been shooting well, his overall attempts have been limited, as his scoring average is only 17.2 points per game, suggesting a low volume of threes attempted.
- →MATCHUP: The Boston Celtics are one of the top defensive teams in the league, particularly against forwards. This matchup could limit Clowney's opportunities to find open looks for three-pointers, especially with their ability to close out on shooters.
- →NARRATIVE: The game has a significant spread of Boston Celtics -18.0, indicating a likely blowout scenario. If the Celtics extend their lead, Clowney may see reduced minutes in garbage time and fewer opportunities to shoot threes.
- →TREND: Clowney has frequently played under 30 minutes in prior match-ups against elite teams, limiting his shot volume. In the last five games, he has averaged just 30.6 minutes, not guaranteeing the high minutes needed for him to consistently hit over 1.5 threes.
- →SITUATIONAL: The Brooklyn Nets are currently on a losing streak (L6), and poor team morale can often lead to lower overall offensive production and fewer scoring opportunities, which is detrimental for Clowney hitting over 1.5 threes.
Thesis: strong
Market: strongly disagree
