For today's CBB prop picks and parlay, we're utilizing two features: our expansive projections hub that spotlights players on the verge of major statistical outbursts, and our CBB player props page, where players are identified with value to go over or under their lines.
Here's what stands out for the Final Four:
1. Tarris Reed (UConn) over 14.5 points (-108)
Game: UConn vs. Illinois
Tip: 6:09 PM ET
Reed has been one of the most dominant big men in recent NCAA Tournament memory, and 14.5 is very attainable based on what he's been doing.
He's averaging 21.8 points, 13.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 2.2 blocks across four tournament contests, including a 26-point effort in the Elite Eight win over Duke, a game UConn trailed by 19 before he dragged them back.
Reed's first-round performance against Furman, 31 points and 27 rebounds, was the first 30-point, 25-rebound NCAA Tournament game in 58 years.
Illinois will try to get him into foul trouble, but he's been dominant and the Dimers projections put him at 16.0 in this contest.
2. David Mirkovic (Illinois) over 12.5 points (-130)
Game: UConn vs. Illinois
Tip: 6:09 PM ET
Mirkovic has been a stat machine for Illinois throughout this run.
He's averaging a double-double of 14.8 points and 11.0 rebounds per game in the NCAA Tournament, including 29 points in the Round of 1 win over Penn.
The 6-foot-9, 255-pound freshman has been a brutally tough cover all tournament, operating effectively in pick-and-rolls and as a playmaker.
At 12.5 with a projection of 13.8, the Dimers model puts him over this number if he can simply turn in one of his usual games.
3. Koa Peat (Arizona) over 14.5 points (-110)
Game: Michigan vs. Arizona
Tip: 8:54 PM ET
Peat has been the most outstanding player in the West Region for a reason and he averaged 17.5 points on 54.2% shooting across four NCAA Tournament games
He has back-to-back 20-point performances in the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight, recording under 15 points once with a 14-point game in the second round.
Arizona plays at a fast tempo that leads to higher stats across the board, and even though Dimers projects him right on the money at 15.0 points, he certainly has room to climb.
4. Yaxel Lendeborg (Michigan) over 17.5 points (-110)
Game: Michigan vs. Arizona
Tip: 8:54 PM ET
Lendeborg has been on an absolute tear.
He became the first Michigan player to score at least 23 points in three consecutive NCAA Tournament games since Juwan Howard in 1994.
The Big Ten Player of the Year has averaged 25.0 ppg over the last three rounds of the tournament on nearly 60% shooting from the floor, draining 3+ threes in each game as well.
He's been Michigan's engine on offense all tournament long, and a tough Arizona defense won't scare a player who's been this locked in.
The Dimers model projects him at 17.2, slightly under this number, but he's the top-projected scorer across all four teams tonight and has continually gone above and beyond even when he's already at the top of the board.
