Going higher on Brice Williams three-pointers and lower on Zach Freemantle rebounds and assists paid off yesterday. However, Portland went to double overtime against Denver, and Vukasin Masic went way higher on his points prop to kill the sweep. The good news is that we’ve got a slate of games today, and another chance to put together a winning Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry.
Keep in mind that playing all three legs of our plays in Underdog Fantasy could win you 6X your money on a single entry. Let’s dig into tonight’s plays and remember to let it ride!
Underdog Fantasy College Basketball Picks December 2
Matthew Dewoskin Underdog Fantasy College Basketball Pick Em Record (Est 11/4/2024)
All Pick Em Selections: 44-37-0
Spicy Multiplier Picks: 0-0
Perfect 3-0 Pick Em Entries: 5-22
Nick Davidson Higher Than 9.5 Rebounds + Assists
Nevada gets to face Washington State in Reno tonight, and Nick Davidson should really fill up the stat sheet.
Davidson is averaging 7.1 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game. He’s gone higher than 9.5 rebounds and assists in four out of seven games this year.
Washington State has surrendered 33.8 rebounds per game to the opposition. That’s 122nd in the nation this year. The Cougars have also allowed 12.3 assists to opponents this season. That’s 117th in the nation this year.
Both of these teams play at a fairly quick pace. They want to get up and down the floor, so there should be opportunities for Davidson to pluck a few extra boards and potentially dish out a few more passes.
Given the trend, the pace of play, and the opportunities, Davidson has the potential to end higher than his 9.5 rebounds and assists total. You should look to do the same in your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry for December 2nd.
Andrej Jakimovski Lower Than 8.5 Rebounds + Assists
The Colorado Buffaloes meet the Pacific Tigers in Boulder, CO tonight. Look to fade Buffaloes forward Andrej Jakimovski’s rebounds and assists total.
First, Jakimovski is averaging 5.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. He’s also ended five out of seven games lower than 8.5 rebounds and assists. The trends are on our side here.
Pacific is an okay rebounding team. The Tigers allow opponents to grab 33.1 rebounds per game so far this year. That’s 104th in the country.
Also, Jakimovski has only managed more than one assist in two out of five games this year, so you know he isn’t looking to pass. This should be a safe number to go lower on, and you’ll want it as a part of your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry.
Jamarques Lawrence Higher Than 11.5 Points
The Rhode Island Rams have a match up against the Yale Bulldogs, and that means Jamarques Lawrence could have a big game.
Yale is allowing opponents to shoot 36.5% from beyond the arc this year. Lawrence has made at least three three-pointers in each of his last three games, and should see plenty of looks here.
Also, Lawrence is averaging 11.7 points per game, but he’s gone higher than 11.5 points in four of his last five. Given Yale’s struggles at defending the perimeter, this looks like a great match up for Lawrence. He should soar over 11.5 points, and you’ll want to lock him into your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry for December 2nd.
