🧪 SAL's Synthesis
In this matchup, the Kansas Jayhawks are expected to play at a fast pace against the Houston Cougars, which should create more scoring opportunities and consequently assist opportunities for Tre White. His recent trend of averaging 2.0 assists in the last three games aligns with the narrative of a competitive game likely keeping starters on the court longer. While there are concerns about Kansas's defense potentially limiting assists, the overall Net EV of 0.07 reflects a slight edge that indicates the bookmaker may be undervaluing this bet, making it a reasonable choice.
