Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: JT Linville (Belmont) / Over Points / 18.5 at -115 / 72% / Linville averaged 17.2 PPG last season with high usage (28%) against weak defenses; Air Force’s perimeter D allowed 35% from three, projecting 20+ in home opener with full minutes.

Player Prop #2: Rytis Petraitis (Air Force) / Over Rebounds / 7.5 at -110 / 68% / Petraitis grabbed 6.8 RPG last year, excelling on boards (22% defensive rebound rate); Belmont’s interior focus leaves second-chance opportunities, especially in a paced-down game.

Player Prop #3: Malik Dia (Belmont) / Over Assists / 4.5 at -105 / 65% / Dia dished 3.9 APG with strong playmaking in transition; Air Force’s turnover-prone backcourt (18% last season) sets up easy feeds, supported by Belmont’s efficient offense (1.12 PPP).

Following the money with the simulation’s cover probabilities optimizes EV, as Belmont wins often but margins cluster around 9-10 points. Overall scoring outlook points low, with both teams’ rebounding and turnover metrics projecting under pace and total below the line.
