Jabri Abdur-Rahim O/U 18.5 PRA
Beginning in the SEC, LSU currently has an 11-7 record behind the 73rd most difficult schedule. Meanwhile, Georgia holds a 13-5 record with the 59th most difficult schedule. As it stands, Georgia enters this game as a 3.5-point favorite in a game with a 155.5 total.
First of all, Georgia enters this game implied for nearly 80 points as home favorites against LSU. Both teams play up-tempo, with LSU ranked 40th in pace and Georgia coming in 81st. From there, Georgia has recently consolidated minutes for their starters. In particular, Jabri Abdur-Rahim has played 28, 31 and 33 minutes over the last three games. Within that span, he accounts for an 18.8% shot rate, 14.9% rebound rate, and a 5.3% assist rate. At a 31.5-minute projection, Abdur-Rahim should tally 21.4 points, rebounds and assists — far more than where his prop is trading on DraftKings (18.5).

Nijel Pack O/U 21.5 PRA
Moving over to the ACC, Miami heads to Notre Dame to take on the Irish as 4.5-point favorites in a game with a 140 total. Miami currently sits at 12-6 with a 3-4 conference record behind the 95th-ranked strength of schedule. Meanwhile, Notre Dame enters with a 7-11 record behind the 61st-ranked schedule.
A few Miami players project towards the under in this game environment. While Miami ranks 71st in pace, Notre Dame ranks a sluggish 331st. Notre Dame also excels on defense at 29th in overall defensive efficiency. That could squeeze Nijel Pack’s production. Another squeeze on his rates could be the return of Norchad Omier. Pack still accounts for a 17.5% shot rate and 21.3% assist rate on the year, but the scoring reliance doesn’t help him. Our projections have Pack coming in at 18.7 points, rebounds and assists.
Best College Basketball Player Prop Pick: Nijel Pack under 21.5 PRA -125 at DraftKings

Auburn: +142 | Alabama: -170

Johni Broome O/U 24.5 PRA
Back to the SEC, Auburn heads to Alabama as a 3.5-point underdog in a game with a 162 total. To this point, Auburn has a 16-2 record with the 97th-ranked schedule. Similarly, Alabama holds a 12-6 record behind the sixth-ranked schedule. Coming off a loss to Tennessee, Alabama will look to rebound tonight.
This is an up-tempo game environment: Auburn enters this game ranked 70th in pace, while Alabama comes in ranked 24th. Both teams also rank within the top six of offensive efficiency. Auburn has played in three straight blowouts. In this span, Johni Broome has played 21, 25, and 22 minutes per game. Averaging just 23.2 minutes per game, Broome averages 15.3 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game.
However, Broome has spiked to 28-29 minutes in more competitive games, which this projects to be. With a minutes projection of 28, Broome has a 28.1 PRA projection — well above where his prop total is trading at DraftKings (24.5).
