Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Tyler Robertson / Over Points / 18.5 at -110 / 65% / Robertson averages 19.2 PPG this season with 28% usage rate, and Portland’s home offense relies heavily on his mid-range scoring against Oregon State’s perimeter defense that allows 12.5 3s per game.

Player Prop #2: Dexter Akanno / Under Points / 15.5 at -110 / 60% / Akanno held to 12.8 PPG on road trips, facing Portland’s stout interior defense (top-150 in blocks per KenPom), with recent form showing unders in 4 of last 5 away contests.

Player Prop #3: Warith Alatishe / Over Rebounds / 8.5 at -105 / 58% / Alatishe grabs 9.1 RPG overall and excels in rebounding battles (62% defensive rebound rate), exploiting Portland’s 45% offensive rebound allowance against bigger forwards this season.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors Oregon State, aligning with money distribution, but the line movement lacks sharp backing, creating a contrarian edge on Portland’s spread amid home advantage and balanced efficiencies. Both squads emphasize defense, with Oregon State at 66.8 points allowed and Portland at 68.2 at home, pointing to a lower-scoring affair under the total. Fade the public here as metrics suggest value in the underdog cover without overreacting to the Beavers’ slight talent edge.

🔮 Recommended Play
