Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Braden Smith / Over Assists / 7.5 at -115 / 68% / Smith’s 8.2 APG in 2025 season leads Purdue’s motion offense; Memphis’ perimeter defense ranks 180th in opponent assists allowed, boosting usage without key injuries.

Player Prop #2: Fletcher Loyer / Over Points / 14.5 at -110 / 65% / Loyer’s 15.1 PPG efficiency shines against Memphis’ weak 3P defense (38% allowed); his 42% 3PT shooting in recent games supports over in high-pace matchup.

Player Prop #3: Adonis Thomas / Under Points / 12.5 at -105 / 62% / Thomas averages 11.2 PPG but faces Purdue’s elite interior (top-10 blocks/steals); limited by Memphis’ ball distribution and Purdue’s havoc rate (18%), projecting under based on defensive metrics.

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment heavily favors Purdue, aligning with sharp money as evidenced by the line movement toward the favorite, making following the public mathematically optimal here without contrarian value. No significant reverse line movement or injury disruptions alter this consensus. Overall game scoring outlook leans under due to Purdue’s stingy home defense (under in 70% of games) clashing with Memphis’ inefficient offense (sub-100 eFG% on road).
