Top 3 Player Props
Player Prop #1: JaVon Franklin (Iona) Over 17.5 Points at -110 / 75% Confidence
Franklin’s usage in high-pace offense (recent 20+ PPG) vs Rider’s weak perimeter D (allows 78+ PPG).
Player Prop #2: Kinnon Reynolds (Iona) Over 8.5 Rebounds at -110 / 72% Confidence
Dominant rebounding rate (avg 10 last 3) exploits Rider’s poor defensive rebounding (allowed 40+ boards in losses).
Player Prop #3: DJ Dudley (Rider) Under 12.5 Points at -110 / 70% Confidence
Road struggles (avg 11 PPG vs majors), faces Iona’s stout interior limiting ISO efficiency.

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public slightly favors Rider spread but money follows (56%), signaling potential sharp resistance; however, sim and form heavily back Iona cover without invalidating via injuries or fatigue. Fade the dog money as Rider’s offense falters on road. Game projects low-scoring with Rider capped offensively, favoring Under.

🔮 Recommended Play
Fade the public on Rider +12.5 — Iona’s edge confirmed by metrics and sim.
