Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Cam Boozer / Over Points / 16.5 at -115 / 68% / Boozer’s high usage rate (28%) and Texas’ weak interior defense (allowing 45% 2P in exhibitions) project 18+ points in Duke’s motion offense.
Player Prop #2: Tramon Mark / Under Points / 14.5 at -110 / 62% / Mark faces Duke’s top-ranked perimeter defense (eFG% under 50%), limiting his scoring to 12-13 based on recent form and matchup splits.
Player Prop #3: Khaman Maluach / Over Rebounds / 8.5 at -120 / 65% / Maluach’s 12.5 RPG in preseason combined with Texas’ poor offensive rebounding (28%) favors double-digit boards in a pace-controlled game.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors Duke, aligning with sharp money and simulation metrics that highlight the Blue Devils’ talent superiority, making a follow strategy optimal without contrarian value. Texas’ new-look roster under Miller shows promise but lacks cohesion against Duke’s depth. Overall scoring outlook leans low, with defensive efficiencies and neutral venue suppressing the total below the line.
