🔴 Anti Agent Case

Conf: 0%

Evidence

→STATS: Kingston Flemings is a guard, which typically results in fewer rebounds than forwards or centers. Without specific season averages available, guards often average significantly fewer rebounds than the threshold of 4.5.
→MATCHUP: The Kansas Jayhawks have a strong frontcourt, which makes it challenging for guards like Flemings to accumulate rebounds. Their size advantage will likely limit his opportunities on the boards.
→NARRATIVE: Given the expected close nature of the game (spread of +1.5), it's likely that both teams will be engaged in a fast-paced back-and-forth, leading to fewer rebound opportunities as shots may be made quickly.
→TREND: Flemings has recently been part of a Cougars squad that has lost their last couple of games, which often leads to diminished performance metrics across the board, including rebounds.
→SITUATIONAL: Houston is on a two-game losing streak, which might result in them being more focused on scoring and less on securing rebounds, especially against a competitive team like Kansas.
