🧪 SAL's Synthesis

In this matchup, the Celtics are heavily favored with an 18-point spread, indicating a likely blowout which would reduce Hauser's minutes and opportunities to record assists. Given he is averaging only 1.0 assists over his last five games and the slow pace of the total set at 209.5, it's expected that he will struggle to exceed 1.5 assists. The Net EV of 0.09 suggests that the market is still presenting a reasonable edge, making this a solid bet on Hauser's Under for assists.
