Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Aaron Bradshaw / Over Points / 12.5 at -115 / 72% / Bradshaw’s increased usage in Kentucky’s frontcourt amid injuries boosts his scoring average to 14.2 PPG recently, facing Loyola’s undersized defense weak against post play.
Player Prop #2: D.J. Wagner / Over Assists / 4.5 at -110 / 68% / Wagner’s playmaking role yields 5.1 APG in home games, exploiting Loyola’s turnover-forcing press with efficient ball-handling and open teammates.
Player Prop #3: Jonathan Speed / Under Points / 8.5 at -105 / 65% / Speed’s 6.8 PPG against top-20 defenses drops further versus Kentucky’s elite perimeter D, limited by low volume and poor shooting efficiency in road matchups.

Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors Kentucky, aligning with sharp money indicators and line stability, making a follow on the favorite optimal rather than a forced fade. Loyola Maryland’s injury concerns and poor road performance reinforce the mismatch without overvaluation. Overall game scoring leans under due to Kentucky’s controlled tempo and defensive focus, projecting a lopsided but lower-total affair.
