We made it through the first super Saturday slate of the season and came out with a sweep. Sunday may be known for the NFL, but we still have college basketball games on the schedule. It would be wrong not to build an Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry for December 15. We have a short slate, but we still managed to find three plays that you’ll want to make.
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 15
Matthew Dewoskin Underdog Fantasy College Basketball Pick Em Record (Est 11/4/2024)
All Pick Em Selections: 60-49-2
Spicy Multiplier Picks: 0-0
Perfect 3-0 Pick Em Entries: 7-30
Ndewedo Newbury Higher Than 3.5 Rebounds
San Francisco meets Loyola-Chicago in Milwaukee this evening. The Ramblers are allowing opponents to grab 33.6 rebounds per game this season. That’s 118th in the nation. Loyola isn’t necessarily soft in the middle, but this is a great number in a good match up.
Ndewedo Newbury comes into Sunday averaging 4.5 rebounds per game. He’s gone higher than 3.5 rebounds in six out of 10 games this year. Newbury has grabbed 10 boards against Boise State and eight against Mercer.
Newbury should get a full workload, and he’ll likely find opportunities at a neutral site game against a team that can struggle with size. Lock in Newbury to go higher than 3.5 rebounds in your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry.
Nick Martinelli Higher Than 22.5 Points+Rebounds+Assists
Northwestern heads to Milwaukee for a match up with Georgia Tech. Wildcats forward Nick Martinelli should have no issue going higher than 22.5 PRA.
Georgia Tech enters this game allowing opponents to average 74.0 points per game. That’s 198th in the country. The Yellow Jackets also allow opponents to average 37.0 rebounds per game. That’s 269th in the nation. You know who scored points and grabs boards? Nick Martinelli!
Martinelli comes into Sunday averaging 20.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game. His scoring production has been down slightly with Brooks Barnhizer returning to the lineup, but he’s still filling up the stat sheet.
Martinelli has gone higher than 22.5 PRA in seven out of 10 games. He also averages over 35 minutes played per game. He has the workload, and should have no problem finding opportunities against the Yellow Jackets.
Arthur Kaluma Lower Than 15.5 Points
The Texas Longhorns face Arkansas-Pine Bluff this afternoon at the Moody Center. Texas should absolutely roll the Golden Lions, but Arthur Kaluma won’t go higher than 15.5 points in this one.
Kaluma enters the game averaging 14.7 points per game this year. He’s gone lower than 15.5 points in six out of 10 games this year.
The Longhorns only seem to turn to Kaluma in bigger match ups this year. The Longhorns have played games against Chicago State, Mississippi Valley State, Houston Christian, and Delaware State. Kaluma has only gone higher than 15.5 points against MVSU. APB isn’t nearly as bad as the Delta Devils.
This one could get sweaty, but Kaluma should have a limited workload, and this number is a little too high for a game that he won’t need to turn it on for. Go lower on Kaluma points in your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry for December 15th.
