- Yaxel Lendeborg has -115 odds to record over 24.5 points, rebounds, and assists while dealing with an ankle sprain from the Final Four.
- Braylon Mullins has gone 5-8 from three since hitting the game winning shot against Duke and has +150 odds to make at least three tonight.
INDIANAPOLIS – March Madness comes to a close tonight as Michigan and UConn face off for the National Championship at 8:50 PM EST, so let’s take a look at the eight best props for Monday night.
Elliot Cadeau To Record Over 6.5 Assists (-140)
Cadeau led Michigan in assists over the course of the season, averaging just under six per game and has ramped up his passing even more in the tournament.
He’s recorded at least seven assists in each game during March Madness and posted ten assists in each of his last two games.
Braylon Mullins To Record Over 2.5 Three Pointers Made (+150)
Prior to making the game winning shot against Duke, Mullins had shot just 4-23 from three point range in the tournament.
Since then, he has made five of his last eight three point attempts, with four of those coming against Illinois in the Final Four, including a dagger in the last minute of the game.
Tarris Reed Jr. To Record A Double-Double (-140)
Reed has arguably been the best player throughout the entire tournament, averaging 20.8 points, 13 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks per game while shooting 58.2% from the field in the first five rounds.
He has recorded a double-double in three of his five games, scoring in double figures in all five and missing his fourth double-double by just one rebound against Duke.
Yaxel Lendeborg To Record Over 24.5 Total Points, Rebounds, and Assists (-115)
Lendeborg injured his ankle during Michigan’s Final Four matchup against Illinois, but all signs point to him playing on Monday night.
Though there is a slight chance that he plays limited minutes, Lendeborg has the capability to clear this line from points alone, which he has already done twice during the tournament.
Take advantage of this soft line at legal sports betting sites.
Jayden Ross To Record Under 0.5 Three Pointers Made (-120)
So far in the tournament, Ross has shot 66.7% from three point range. However, that’s because he has only attempted six threes in five games.
Ross has not attempted more than three threes in any game during March Madness, has three games without a three pointer made, and two games without a three point attempt.
Morez Johnson Jr. To Record Over 6.5 Rebounds (-130)
The leading rebounder for the Wolverines averaged 7.3 rebounds over the course of the season and has bumped up his average to 7.6 per game in the tournament.
Johnson Jr. has recorded seven or more rebounds in four of Michigan’s five games in March Madness thus far.
Alex Karaban To Record Under 20.5 Total Points, Rebounds, and Assists (-120)
The senior forward got off to a hot start during the tournament, but has gone ice cold in his last two games, scoring a total of just 14 points combined.
He also consistently posts a mediocre number of rebounds and assists, meaning he will have to rely heavily on points to clear this line.
Over 68.5 Total Points Scored In The First Half (-110)
Though some teams may tense up in high pressure situations, the opposite seems to be true for the Michigan Wolverines, led by mostly upperclassmen.
Michigan has scored at least 47 points in the first half of each game they’ve played in the tournament so far, but would hypothetically only need to score about 36-37 points given the four-point first-half spread.
College basketball betting sites are playing this one conservative, but trust in Michigan’s offense to pick up the slack.
