Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Alijah Martin (FAU) / Under Points / 14.5 / -115 / 80% / FAU’s leading scorer averages 13.8 PPG recently, but USF’s top-20 defense allows just 65 PPG and limits guards to under 12 PPG in last 5 games.
Player Prop #2: Selton Miguel (USF) / Over Assists / 4.5 / -110 / 76% / Miguel averages 5.2 assists per game with high usage; FAU’s weak perimeter defense concedes 6+ assists to opposing guards in 70% of recent matchups.
Player Prop #3: Johnell Davis (FAU) / Under Rebounds / 6.5 / -120 / 72% / Davis pulls 6.1 rebounds lately, facing USF’s strong frontcourt that ranks top-30 in rebound rate and holds opponents under 32% offensive rebounds.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors South Florida, aligning with sharp money distribution and line movement that reinforces the favorite without reverse indicators. Following the public is optimal here, as mathematical EV confirms value on the Bulls amid FAU’s defensive inefficiencies and key injuries. Overall game scoring outlook leans under based on both teams’ slow pace (USF 68 possessions/game, FAU 66), strong defensive ratings (USF allows 68 PPG, FAU 70 PPG allowed), and recent trends showing 4 of last 5 combined games under 140 total points, favoring a lower-scoring affair.
