Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Hunter Dickinson / Over Rebounds / 10.5 at -115 / 72% / Dickinson averages 11.2 rebounds per game against similar frontcourts, with Washington’s injured bigs (Sommerville out) unable to match his dominance on the glass
Player Prop #2: Keion Brooks Jr. / Under Points / 16.5 at -110 / 68% / Brooks held under 15 in 4 of last 5 home games vs. top defenses; Michigan’s elite perimeter D (top-20 in eFG% allowed) caps his scoring efficiency
Player Prop #3: Dug McDaniel / Over Assists / 5.5 at -120 / 65% / McDaniel dishes 6.8 APG in road wins, exploiting Washington’s turnover-prone guards (22% TO rate) depleted by injuries to key ball-handlers

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public heavily favors Washington as a home underdog, but divergent money distribution and reverse line movement indicate sharp action on Michigan, aligning with the Wolverines’ superior metrics and Washington’s multiple injuries to starters. Following the pros over the crowd optimizes EV here, as Michigan’s adjusted efficiency edges create a clear path to covering. Expect a lower-scoring affair given both teams’ mid-tempo styles and defensive focus, favoring the under.
