Kasparas Jakucionis Higher Than 4.5 Assists b92
Purdue heads to Champaign, IL tonight for a match up with the Fighting Illini. The Boilermakers enter this game allowing opponents to average 14.4 assists per game. That’s 271st in the nation this year. Let’s take Illinois primary ball handler, Kasparas Jakucionis, to go higher than 4.5 assists.
Jakucionis comes into this match up averaging 5.2 assists per game at home this year. He’s gone higher than 4.5 assists in five of his last eight home games.
Points should be scored in this game, and there should be plenty of opportunities for Jakucionis to set up his teammates. Lock up Jakucionis to go higher than 4.5 assists in your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry for tonight’s action.
Trey Kaufman-Renn Higher Than 1.5 Turnovers 6y75x
On the other side of the Purdue vs. Illinois match up, we have Boilermakers big man Trey Kaufman-Renn going higher than 1.5 turnovers.
Kaufman-Renn averages 3.1 turnovers per game when he plays on the road. He’s gone higher in four straight games and seven straight conference road games.
When playing at home, the Illini’s defense generates about 11.0 turnovers per game on average. They’re ranked as a top 40 defense according to KenPom and should be able to harass Kaufman-Renn into handing the ball over at least twice. We’ll ride with the trend here and take Kaufman-Renn to go higher in our Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry for March 7th.
Dovydas Butka Higher Than 19.5 Points+Rebounds 3r113c
Pepperdine and Portland meet tonight in a 2nd round game for the West Coast Conference tournament. We’ll ride with Pepperdine big man Dovydas Butka to go higher than 19.5 points and rebounds.
Portland comes into this game allowing shoot 53.2% on two-point shots this year. That’s 267th in the nation. The Pilots also allow opponents to grab 36.9 rebounds per game this season. That’s 296th in the nation.
Dovydas Butka has played Portland twice. He’s racked up 23 and 28 points and rebounds in those two games. Butka comes into this match up averaging 10.0 points and 6.6 rebounds per game. However, he’s gone higher than 19.5 points and rebounds in three straight games with an increase in usage rate.
Look for Butka to continue to fill up the stat sheet against a Portland Pilots team that has struggled all year on the defensive end. Butka going higher than 19.5 points and rebounds is one of the safest plays on the Underdog Fantasy college basketball board tonight.
