Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Miles Brewster (Boston University) / Over Points / 14.5 at -115 / 65% / Brewster averages 16.2 PPG in home games this season against similar defensive profiles, with high usage rate and Lehigh’s weak perimeter defense allowing 35% from three.
Player Prop #2: Keith Higgins Jr. (Lehigh) / Under Rebounds / 6.5 at -110 / 60% / Higgins has gone under in 7 of last 10 road games, facing Boston University’s strong interior rebounding (top-150 nationally), limiting second-chance opportunities.
Player Prop #3: Hason Ward (Boston University) / Over Rebounds / 7.5 at -120 / 62% / Ward’s 8.4 RPG at home aligns with matchup advantages against Lehigh’s below-average defensive rebounding percentage, boosted by increased minutes due to no major frontcourt injuries.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment leans toward Boston University, aligning with sharp money distribution and efficiency metrics that favor the home team without significant overvaluation. Following the public on the spread makes sense here, as reverse line movement is absent and EV remains positive. Overall game scoring outlook points to a grind-it-out contest under the total, given both squads’ top-200 defensive efficiencies and sub-70 tempo in conference play.
