Armando Bacot O/U 23.5 PRA
Beginning in the ACC, North Carolina currently has a 17-3 record behind the 11th most difficult schedule. Meanwhile, Georgia Tech holds a 9-11 record with the 27th most difficult schedule. As it stands, North Carolina enters this game as an 8.5-point favorite in a game with a 152.5 total ahead of their tilt against Duke this weekend.
A supreme buy-low in this elite game environment, Armondo Bacot‘s points-rebounds-assist prop sits at 23.5. With more weapons, including RJ Davis, Cormac Ryan, and Harrison Ingram, North Carolina hasn’t needed to rely on Bacot as much this season. With that said, he will still play elite minutes in competitive games, evidenced by his 35 and 36 minutes over the last two games. Bacot still has elite rates as well, with a 14.4% shot rate, 24.1% rebound rate, and 10.4% assist rate. North Carolina also possesses a massive matchup advantage inside, where Georgia Tech ranks 155th in interior defense and 96th in rebounding. Overall, Bacot projects for 27.8 points-rebounds-assists at 34 minutes in this matchup.

Warren Washington O/U 21.5 PRA
Moving over to the Big 12, Texas Tech heads to TCU to take on the Horned Frogs as a five-point underdog in a game with a 147.5 total. Texas Tech currently sits at 16-3 with a 5-1 conference record behind the 83rd-ranked strength of schedule. Meanwhile, TCU enters with an 15-5 record behind the 93rd-ranked schedule.
An interesting road spot, Texas Tech faces a pace up spot against a TCU team that ranks 59th in tempo. Texas Tech has also condensed their rotation in conference play, which puts a few players over their listed PRA props. One such player Warren Washington has played 34, 37, and 35 minutes over the last three games. Within this span, he has a 13.8% shot rate, 27.8% rebound rate, and 13% assist rate. TCU ranks 163rd in interior defense, providing the path of least resistance for the Texas Tech offense. The Horned Frogs are also 193rd in fouls generated, making a Washington foul game less likely. He projects for 23.7 points-rebounds-assists at 35 minutes.
Best College Basketball Player Prop Pick: Warren Washington over 21.5 PRA -115 at DraftKings

Maliq Brown O/U 17.5 PRA
Moving back to the ACC, Syracuse heads to Boston College to take on the Eagles as four-point underdogs in a game with a 149 total. Syracuse currently sits at 14-6 with a 5-4 conference record behind the 21st-ranked strength of schedule. Meanwhile, Boston College enters with a 12-8 record behind the 63rd-ranked schedule.
Looking at the Syracuse prop market, Maliq Brown projects towards the over in the PRA market with a recent consolidation of minutes in the front court. The Orange lost Naheem McLeod earlier this season, thrusting Brown into an elevated role. He played 36, 32, and 29 minutes in the last three games, while fouling four times in each of those contests. Within that span, he has a 7.0% shot rate, 29% rebound rate, and 17% assist rate. Boston College does have Quinten Post inside, but they still rank 116th in interior defense and 189th in rebounding. Brown currently projects for 20.1 PRA at 33 minutes.
