Top 3 Player Props
Player Prop #1: Javon Bennett / Over Points / 14.5 at -115 / 72% / Bennett’s 16.2 PPG average in conference play, boosted by GW’s weak perimeter defense (38% opponent 3PT), hits over in 8 of last 10 starts with high usage (28%).

Player Prop #2: Koby Brea / Over 3-Pointers Made / 2.5 at -110 / 70% / Brea drains 3.8 threes per game at 42% clip; GW allows 11.2 opponent threes road, and his volume (8+ attempts) supports over in favorable matchup.

Player Prop #3: Darren Buchanan / Under Rebounds / 5.5 at -112 / 68% / Buchanan averages 4.8 boards but faces Dayton’s elite rebounding defense (top-15 OR% allowed); unders hit in 7 of 9 vs. top-50 rebounders, limiting second-chance opportunities.

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment heavily favors Dayton, aligning with sharp money distribution and line stability, making a follow-public approach optimal on the spread and moneyline without contrarian value. George Washington’s recent skid (2-6 in last 8) and defensive lapses amplify Dayton’s edge, though the total leans over due to both teams’ up-tempo styles and combined 155+ PPG averages. Overall scoring outlook points to a mid-70s shootout, favoring overs in this home tilt.
