Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Tamin Lipsey / Over Points / 11.5 at -145 / 65% Confidence Lipsey’s 28% usage rate and Iowa State’s pace (72 possessions) exploit MSU’s weak perimeter D (38% opponent 3P allowed early 2025), hitting over in 4 of 5 recent starts.

Player Prop #2: Josh Hubbard / Under Points / 19.5 at -130 / 60% Confidence Hubbard faces Iowa’s top-20 defensive efficiency (95 adj D), limiting guard scoring to under 18 in cross-conference matchups; MSU’s low tempo (68) caps volume.

Player Prop #3: Joshua Jefferson / Over Rebounds / 7.5 at -130 / 62% Confidence Jefferson’s 12.5 rebound/game average thrives against MSU’s undersized frontcourt (42% def reb rate), grabbing 8+ in 70% of home games with high offensive rebound opportunities.

⚖️ Analysis Summary
