🧪 SAL's Synthesis
The expectation of a high-scoring game due to the dynamic offense of the Arizona Wildcats suggests Melvin Council Jr. will have opportunities to score. However, Council has struggled recently to reach double digits in points, which counters the initial idea that he'll easily hit the Over on 11.5 points, particularly against a solid Arizona defense. The Net EV of -0.11 indicates that this bet is overpriced, as the evidence points more toward inconsistencies in Council's recent performances rather than a favorable matchup that would push his scoring above the line.
