🧪 SAL's Synthesis

Given the balanced narrative and the negative Net EV of -0.02, it's advisable to pass on the Kingston Flemings Under 17.5. The evidence indicates that both the anticipated strong defensive presence from the Colorado Buffaloes and Flemings' recent scoring struggles could limit his points output. However, the opposing analysis also highlights his recent uptick in scoring and a game pace suggesting potential for more offensive opportunities, creating uncertainty about his chances to stay under the line.
