Oumar Ballo Higher Than 11.5 Rebounds + Assists
Sam Houston visits Indiana tonight, and that means Hoosiers big man Oumar Ballo should absolutely eat.
The Bearkats allow 35.9 rebounds per game to opponents. That’s 200th in the nation. They also allow 16.7 assists per game to opponents. That’s 334th in the nation. The Bearkats allow boards and have a leaky defense.
Ballo is averaging 8.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game this year. He’s cleared 11.5 rebounds and assists in four out of seven games this year. That includes going higher in three out of four in Bloomington. This is a great spot for Ballo, and you’ll want to go higher on his rebounds and assists total in your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry.
Alvaro Cardenas Higher Than 5.5 Assists
Boise State gets Utah Valley coming to the ExtraMile Arena. Broncos point guard Alvaro Cardenas should fill up the stat sheet in a tasty match up.
Cardenas is averaging 5.3 assists per game this year. He’s cleared 5.5 assists in four of seven games played so far.
Utah Valley is 232nd in points allowed to opponents in the nation. The Wolverines are also 171st in assists allowed to opponents. Cardenas should have plenty of opportunities to set up his teammates here and fly over his assists total. Make sure you’re higher on Cardenas assists in your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry for December 3rd.
Jayden Quaintance Higher Than 8.5 Rebounds
The Arizona State Sun Devils get the San Diego Toreros tonight, and you’ll want to go higher on Jayden Quaintance rebounds.
San Diego is 317th in the nation when it comes to opponents rebounds. The Toreros are allowing opponents to grab 39.5 rebounds per game this year. There’s a non-zero chance that Quaintance clears his rebounds total by half time.
Quaintance has gone higher than 8.5 rebounds in four of eight games this season. However, he posted double digit boards in three of those four games. Quaintance is averaging 7.9 rebounds per game, and he should clean up against one of the worst rebounding teams in the nation.
