Alvaro Cardenas assists and Jayden Quaintance rebounds both got home last night. That’s good! The problem was that Oumar Ballo only played 19 minutes against Sam Houston and only managed nine rebounds and assists. We needed to go higher than 11.5 to secure a sweep. We’ve got another massive slate of games tonight. That means even more opportunities to build 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 4
Matthew Dewoskin Underdog Fantasy College Basketball Pick Em Record (Est 11/4/2024)
All Pick Em Selections: 46-38-0
Spicy Multiplier Picks: 0-0
Perfect 3-0 Pick Em Entries: 5-23
Norchad Omier Higher Than 10.5 Rebounds + Assists
Baylor heads to Connecticut for a road spot against the Huskies. UConn will be without big man Alex Karaban, and this is a direct fade of that angle.
With Karaban, the Huskies have struggled to contain opposing bigs this season. Zed Key grabbed nine boards, Andrej Jakimovski racked up 10, Moussa Cisse snagged eight. The Huskies have been getting killed on the glass this season.
Baylor’s Norchad Omier is averaging 10.4 boards and 2.0 assists per game. He should cruise over 10.5 rebounds and assists against a UConn team that is a bit soft on the inside already, and will be without Alex Karaban.
Make sure you go higher on Omier’s rebounds and assists total in your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry for December 4th.
Nick Boyd Higher Than 5.5 Rebounds
San Diego State heads to the Save Mart Center to face the Fresno State Bulldogs. Fresno State is one of the worst rebounding teams in the country this year. Jump on the higher side of the Nick Boyd rebounds total.
Fresno State is allowing opponents to average 42.9 rebounds against this year. That’s 359th in the country.
Nick Boyd comes into this one averaging 4.8 rebounds per game this season. He’s gone higher than 5.5 rebounds in three of his last four, including a nine-rebound effort against Gonzaga.
The Aztecs may be on the road, but this is a great spot for Boyd to continue to pick up rebounds. Lock in the higher number for Boyd’s rebounds in your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry.
Jackson Shelstad Higher Than 3.5 Assists
Oregon cruises to the Galen Center for a match up with USC tonight. The Ducks are fresh off a win worth $1.5 million, but you’ll still want to go higher on Jackson Shelstad assists in your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry.
USC has given up 15.1 assists per game to opponents this year. That’s 278th in the nation. The Trojans also play defense with the intensity of traffic cones.
Shelstad is averaging 3.9 assists per game this year. He’s cleared 3.5 assists in five out of eight this year, and he’s got a tasty match up against a struggling Trojans team. Go higher on his assists total.
