Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Darnell Brodie / Over Points / 14.5 at -115 / 65% / Brodie averages 15.2 PPG in recent games with high usage (28%) against weaker Big Sky defenses like NAU’s, which allows 72 PPG.
Player Prop #2: Max Murrell / Over Rebounds / 5.5 at -110 / 62% / Murrell’s 6.1 RPG on the boards benefits from NAU’s poor defensive rebounding rate (68%), plus Drake’s pace pushes extra possessions.
Player Prop #3: Trent McDrake / Under Assists / 4.5 at -105 / 58% / McDrake’s playmaking dips to 3.8 APG in high-scoring home games, facing NAU’s focused perimeter defense that limits assists to under 12 per game.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Simulations confirm a clear edge for the Bulldogs covering, with their adjusted offensive efficiency (110+ KenPom) overwhelming NAU’s middling defense.
