Underdog Fantasy College Basketball Picks January 3
Matthew Dewoskin Underdog Fantasy College Basketball Pick Em Record (Est 11/4/2024)
All Pick Em Selections: 82-69-2
Perfect 3-0 Pick Em Entries: 10-41
Donovan Dent Higher Than 5.5 Assists
Nevada visits The Pit to meet New Mexico tonight. The Nevada Wolfpack allow opponents to rack up 12.9 assists per game. That’s 140th in the nation. This is a solid match up for New Mexico point guard Donovan Dent.
New Mexico plays at one of the fastest paces in the country, while Nevada plays at one of the slowest in the nation. Given that this game is at The Pit, New Mexico could force Nevada into a track meet, and run them out of the gym.
Donovan Dent enters this game averaging 7.3 assists per game at home this year. He’s gone higher than 5.5 assists in 10 out of 14 games played this year. He also went higher than 5.5 assists in both games against Nevada last year.
This number is a little too low for Dent at home against a conference opponent he’s done well against. Make sure you go higher on Dent’s assists total in your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry.
Robbie Avila Higher Than 5.5 Rebounds
St. Joe’s heads to St. Louis for a game with the Billikens tonight. The Hawks enter this game allowing opponents to average 34.1 rebounds per game against. St. Louis big man Robbie Avila should be able to get what he wants in this match up.
Avila comes into this game averaging 6.2 rebounds per game at home. He’s gone higher than 5.5 rebounds in six out of 11 games played this season.
The Hawks are a capable shooting team, but given the road spot, it shouldn’t be a surprise if they struggle. Expect St. Joe’s to provide ample opportunities for Avila to clean the glass in this one. Avila should get his customary six boards and go higher on his rebounds total in your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry for January 3rd.
Steve Settle Higher Than 6.5 Rebounds
Wichita State visits Temple tonight, and you’ll want to ride Owls big man Steve Settle in your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry for January 3rd.
The Shockers enter this game allowing opponents to grab 38.8 rebounds per game. That’s 315th in the nation. Both teams also play at a quick pace, so there will be a lot of extra opportunities for missed shots.
Settle comes into this match up averaging 6.8 rebounds per game. He’s gone higher than 6.5 boards in eight out of 13 games this season.
Given the spot and a the trend, this is a great number to get Settle at. He should have no problem going higher on his rebounds total tonight.
