Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Isaac McKneely / Over Points / 12.5 at -115 / 70% / McKneely’s 15.2 PPG average and high usage (28%) vs Maryland’s weak perimeter defense (35% 3P allowed)
Player Prop #2: Derik Queen / Under Rebounds / 8.5 at -110 / 65% / Queen’s 7.8 RPG drops to 6.2 on road vs top defenses like Virginia (top-20 defensive rebounding %)
Player Prop #3: Reece Beekman / Over Assists / 5.5 at -120 / 75% / Beekman’s 6.1 APG as primary facilitator rises in home games, exploiting Maryland’s turnover-prone press (18% TO rate)

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors Maryland as the underdog, but money distribution and reverse line movement point to sharp action on Virginia, making a fade optimal based on mathematical edges from efficiency ratings and historical matchups. Both teams’ defensive strengths suggest a controlled, low-possession game likely to stay under the total. Overall scoring outlook leans low, with Virginia’s havoc rate limiting Maryland’s offense.
