Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Isaiah Collier / Over Points / 21.5 at -115 / 68% / Collier’s 24.5 PPG average in home games exploits Washington State’s weak perimeter defense (allowing 38% from three), with high usage (28%) in fast-paced matchups.
Player Prop #2: Myles Rice / Under Assists / 4.5 at -110 / 65% / Rice’s assist rate drops to 18% on the road against USC’s stout interior (top-50 defensive rebounding), limiting playmaking in half-court sets.
Player Prop #3: Boogie Ellis / Over Rebounds / 4.5 at -120 / 62% / Ellis grabs 5.2 RPG at home, capitalizing on Washington State’s poor offensive rebounding (28% rate), especially with no major frontcourt injuries.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors USC, aligning with sharp money and line stability, making a follow on the Trojans optimal rather than fading. Washington State’s four-game skid and defensive lapses (105+ adj def eff) suggest USC controls the pace, but the total leans over due to combined offensive outputs averaging 152 in simulations. No major injuries alter the outlook, with both rosters at full strength.
