🧪 SAL's Synthesis

In the matchup between the Kansas Jayhawks and Arizona Wildcats, the expectation of a competitive game suggests that Motiejus Krivas may not see extensive playing time, especially if Arizona establishes a significant lead. The game script leans towards limiting Krivas's opportunities to accumulate points and rebounds, particularly given Kansas's strong defensive capabilities. The Net EV of 0.04 indicates a slight edge, but the evidence points toward risks associated with Krivas not achieving the necessary combined stats, making this a bet best to pass on.
