Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Duke Deen / Over Points / 15.5 at -110 / 70% / Deen’s 18.2 PPG average in early 2025 season and high usage (28%) against CMU’s weak perimeter defense (38% opponent 3P) support exceeding the line.
Player Prop #2: Rienk Mast / Over Rebounds / 8.5 at -115 / 65% / Mast’s 9.1 RPG and Bradley’s rebounding edge (52%) vs CMU’s 47% rate project strong board work in a controlled game.
Player Prop #3: Anthony Pritchard / Under Points / 12.5 at -105 / 68% / Pritchard’s road scoring dips to 10.8 PPG, facing Bradley’s top-100 defensive efficiency that limits guards effectively.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors Bradley, aligning with sharp money distribution and stable lines, making a follow strategy optimal as EV confirms the favorite’s edge without contrarian signals. CMU’s recent win was against weaker competition, but Bradley’s home defense should dominate. Overall scoring outlook leans under, with both offenses averaging under 75 PPG early in the season against solid defenses.
