Player Props Parlay Analysis

Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Texas A&M Corpus Christie, 2:45PM ET

LEG 1: Noah Clowney Over 7.5 Rebounds (-125) with WynnBET Sportsbook

Clowney will have a chance to physically dominate against a much less imposing Texas A&M CC front line than the ones he has seen in the SEC over the last three months. But make no mistake - when Clowney needs to, he can dominate a game on the boards. He's coming off a nine-rebound performance against Texas A&M, and just a few games ago tallied 11 rebounds against Arkansas in an important game. Our model projects a whopping 14.2 boards for Clowney here, making it our play of the day.

Arizona Wildcats vs. Princeton Tigers, 4:10PM ET

LEG 2: Oumar Ballo Over 13.5 Points (-115) with WynnBET Sportsbook

Ballo has been in great form as of late, averaging 17 points per game over his last three contests in Arizona's march to their Pac-12 tournament win. After a cold stretch in February, Ballo has gotten back on track to his elite form early in the season, where he started the year scoring in double digits in 20 consecutive games. Arizona has always been a team that shines under the bright lights, and we expect Ballo to lead the way. Our model projects him to finish with 20.6 points against Princeton's front line.

Illinois Fighting Illini vs. Arkansas Razorbacks, 4:30PM ET

LEG 3: Dain Dainja Over 4.5 Rebounds (-135) with WynnBET Sportsbook

Dainja finished with seven rebounds in his last contest against Penn State, and we expect him to have a chance to make an impact against an Arkansas team that often likes to go small. We project 9.1 rebounds for Dainja here, easily exceeding his line of 4.5. Dainja is a streaky rebounder, and if he can get going early in the game, we expect Brad Underwood to lean on him heavily when it matters most.
