Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: DJ Burns / Over Points / 18.5 at -115 / 72% / Burns averages 16.8 PPG but explodes at home (20+ in 4/5 recent); Georgia Tech’s frontcourt weak on rebounding, allowing efficient post scoring.
Player Prop #2: Miles Kelly / Under Points / 14.5 at -110 / 68% / Kelly at 13.2 PPG on road with turnover-prone play; NC State’s perimeter D ranks top-40 in opponent 3P%, suppressing his volume.
Player Prop #3: TJ Purdue / Over Rebounds / 7.5 at -120 / 70% / Purdue grabs 8.2 RPG at home, exploiting Georgia Tech’s 35% defensive rebound rate; injuries thin Wolfpack frontcourt but boost his minutes.

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public and money heavily favor NC State, aligning with sharp action on the spread amid stable lines, making a follow strategy optimal as EV supports the home team without contrarian signals. Georgia Tech’s road ATS success is against lesser competition, unlikely to hold here. Overall scoring outlook leans under due to NC State’s top-50 defensive rating clamping Georgia Tech’s middling offense (68 PPG allowed recently).
