Best Bet For Gonzaga Vs. San Francisco Thursday Night CBB

Ryan Nembhard has an 8.5 assist total against San Francisco.
There are -165 odds for Malik Thomas to go over 1.5 three-pointers made.

SPOKANE, Wash. – A West Coast Conference after-dark clash is set between the Gonzaga Bulldogs and San Francisco Dons on Thursday Night and there is plenty of value within the player prop market for this one.

Specifically, on legal sports betting sites, we’re checking out props for Gonzaga point guard, Ryan Nembhard, and San Francisco shooting guard, Malik Thomas.

Trust Nembhard To Continue Distributing

Ryan Nembhard Total Assists

Over 8.5 -120
Under 8.5 -120

Nembhard is the glue that keeps this Gonzaga offense together and rolling through his passing. That said, it isn’t hard to see why college basketball betting sites have his assist total this high. Although it is a high number, doesn’t mean he won’t cross this though.

He averages 9.8 assists per game on the season. The fact that oddsmakers already have his total lower than his average is questionable in its own. As for his recent play, he’s gone over this mark in an impressive eight of his last 10 games.

The Zags are extremely hot right now having won four of their last five games and each by 15+ points. Nembhard is one of the main reasons for their success. That said, bettors could trust him to continue that against the Dons.

Plenty Of Deep Opportunities For Malik Thomas

Malik Thomas Total 3 Point Shots Made

Over 1.5 -165
Under +125

If there is something that bettors should take into consideration about Malik Thomas, it is that he is not afraid to let it fly from deep. He’s averaging a career high five three pointers attempted per game on the season and connecting at a near 40% clip.

He’s been scorching in his last 10 games as well having gone over this mark seven times during the stretch.

While Gonzaga has been obliterating teams in their last five games, this could work in Thomas’s favor if the Dons are trying to keep up with them forcing them to shoot more from three point range. The Zags have also allowed at least one opposing starter to connect on 2+ threes in four of their last five.
