In an upcoming basketball game, New Orleans at Utah, sports gamblers can bet on whether Zion Williamson, a player for New Orleans, will score more or fewer than 26.5 points. An analyst points out that in his 4 career games against Utah last year, Zion is averaging 23.5 points per game. What would you rather know?

His average points per game, in the last four games this year so far.

Explanation:

While it is true that in some cases, players tend to maintain similar performance against specific opponents, however, what is most important is to know to make accurate gambling decisions is "Zion Williamson average points per game, in the last four games, this year so far."

Players' forms tend to vary based on the year or season in which they are playing. A player could perform better or worse in a certain season than others. Also, a player could be performing better at a certain point in a year or season than the overall year.

Hence, without necessarily considering other things such as the time at which the game will be played like the end, middle, or beginning of the year, injury, fatigue, the opposing team's form etc., what I would rather know is "Zion Williamson average points per game, in the last four games, this year so far."
