Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Chaz Lanier / Over Points / 22.5 at -115 / 72% / Lanier’s 25.4 PPG average in early games, high usage (28%) against NJIT’s weak perimeter defense (allowing 38% from three), supports clearing this line in a blowout scenario.

Player Prop #2: J’Vonne Hadley / Over Rebounds / 8.5 at -110 / 68% / Hadley’s 9.2 RPG and Louisville’s rebounding edge (42% offensive rate) vs. NJIT’s poor interior (allowing 15+ second-chance points) make the over likely in extended minutes.

Player Prop #3: Mikel Brown Jr. / Over Assists / 4.5 at -105 / 70% / As point guard with 5.8 APG, Brown’s playmaking thrives against NJIT’s turnover-prone press (18% TO rate), with matchup favoring 20+ assists for Louisville overall.

Note: Player props based on confirmed active rosters from current season; no major injuries reported for key contributors.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors Louisville, aligning with sharp money as indicated by the line movement toward the favorite despite 92% public tickets. Following the public is optimal here, as metrics like Louisville’s top-10 adjusted offensive efficiency and NJIT’s bottom-quadrant defense confirm the edge without contrarian value. The game outlook leans toward moderate scoring, with Louisville’s pace (72 possessions) tempered by NJIT’s slower tempo and strong home defense limiting explosive outputs.
