DePaul heads to Hinkle Fieldhouse for a game against Butler. The Blue Demons allow opponents to score 73.8 points per game. That’s 211th in the nation. DePaul also allows opponents to shoot 35.6% from three-point range. That’s 285th in the nation.
The angle to play on Butler is Patrick McCaffrey’s points total. McCaffrey comes into this game averaging 13.8 points and shooting over 40% from deep at home this year. He’s gone higher than 12.5 points in eight of 19 games this year.
DePaul struggles to defend, especially away from Wintrust Arena, and McCaffrey is comfortable shooting at Hinkle Fieldhouse. This is great spot to jump on McCaffrey’s points total, and you’ll want to ride with him in your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry for January 25th.
Jayden Taylor Higher Than 1.5 3-Pointers Made
SMU heads to Raleigh, NC for a match up with North Carolina State. The Mustangs come into this one allowing opponents to shoot 35.2% from beyond the arc. That’s 256th in the nation. Let’s ride with Wolfpack guard Jayden Taylor going higher than 1.5 made three’s.
Taylor comes into this one averaging 1.6 made three’s per game, and shooting 35.9% from deep. He’s also gone higher than 1.5 made three-pointers in six of his last eight games.
SMU likes to play at pace, and if this turns into a track meet, NC State will get extra possession. Extra possessions could turn into extra chances for Taylor. We’ve got a strong trend and a great opponent to fade. Go higher on Taylor made three-pointers today in your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry.
