Underdog Fantasy College Basketball Picks December 30
Matthew Dewoskin Underdog Fantasy College Basketball Pick Em Record (Est 11/4/2024)
All Pick Em Selections: 77-62-2
Perfect 3-0 Pick Em Entries: 9-37
Damarco Minor Higher Than 11.5 Rebounds+Assists
Portland visits Corvallis, OR for a game with Oregon State tonight. Beavers point guard Damarco Minor should should have no problem racking up counting stats in this match up.
Minor comes into this game averaging 4.6 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game at home this year. He’s gone higher than 11.5 rebounds and assists in three out of nine games played at home. However, there’s a reason that this line is set so high for Minor.
Portland allows opponents to hand out 17.3 assists per game this year. That’s 343rd in the nation. The Pilots have also allowed opponents to snag 37.1 rebounds per game. That’s 279th in the nation.
Minor has been a box score filler for years, and this is a great spot for him at home against a little brother that leaves passing lanes open and allows opponents to grab rebounds. Make sure you go higher on rebounds and assists in your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry.
Simas Lukosius Higher than 5.5 Rebounds+Assists
Cincinnati heads to The Octagon of Doom tonight for a match up with Kansas State. Bearcats guard Simas Lukosius should fill up the box score in this one.
Lukosius enters this one averaging 3.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game. His numbers do dip a little on the road, but this is a tasty match up for him. He’s also cleared 5.5 rebounds and assists in nine out of 11 games played.
Kansas State allows opponents to grab 33.8 rebounds per game. That’s 133rd in the nation. The Wildcats also allow opponents to dish out 13.4 assists per game. That’s 173rd in the nation.
Lukosius has been an RA wagon this season, and there’s no reason to think the wagon won’t travel to Manhattan, KS. Go higher on Lukosius rebounds and assists total in your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry for December 30th.
Graham Ike Lower Than 16.5 Points
This one is playing with fire, but the spot on the schedule says to fade Gonzaga’s Graham Ike.
Ike just played 31 minutes against UCLA on Saturday. He’s been averaging 19.8 minutes per game this season, and now he has a quick turnaround in a game Gonzaga should dominate. He’ll be closer to 19 minutes played than 31 minutes played in this one.
Ike comes into this one averaging 16.2 points per game overall, but only 13.8 points per game on the road. If he plays to his average, he’ll go lower.
Lastly, Pepperdine isn’t that bad defensively. They allow opponents to shoot 48.2% on two-point attempts. That’s 100th in the nation.
Ike probably won’t get an extended workload, and Pepperdine is capable of defending a bit, especially at home. Look to fade Ike here in your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry for December 30th.
