Jayhawks star Hunter Dickinson is expected to be healthy enough to take the court again after sitting out the Big 12 conference tournament with injuries.

Although Dickinson will be back it remains to be seen just how healthy he actually is and how much rust he may have built up while sitting on the sidelines.

Extra rest has not been friendly to Kansas this season and they have a 3-7 against the spread with a rest advantage. The Jayhawks have also struggled when listed as betting favorites and hold a 11-14-1 record against the spread, but are 5-4 ATS after a loss.
