Baylor Bears DFS Snapshot
James Akinjo accumulated 25 points (7-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Monday’s 81-77 win over West Virginia. After struggling over the last couple weeks with a minor injury, Akinjo was able to breakout for a big game against the Mountaineers. His 25 points was his second highest scoring output of the season. The stud senior will be tested again on Saturday when Kansas comes to Waco.
Kansas Jayhawks DFS Snapshot
Ochai Agbaji (COVID-19 protocols) has been cleared to take the floor Saturday versus Baylor, Jordan Guskey of The Topeka Capital-Journal reports. Agbaji’s return is huge for the Jayhawks in what is a monumental showdown against Baylor that will determine who sits atop the Big 12 standings. His likely return to the starting five will presumably bump Jalen Coleman-Lands back to a bench role.
