Top Player Props for Wednesday Night’s College Basketball Slate

Robert Wright III OVER 19.5 Points (+100) vs. Arizona

Robert Wright III joined BYU in the offseason as one of the top players available in the transfer portal after spending his freshman season at Baylor. Up to this point in the season, the former five-star’s decision to seek a fresh start has looked like a no-brainer, averaging a career-year across the board with 18.7 points, 4.9 assists, and 3.7 rebounds on shooting splits of 48.8% from the field and 46.1% from three.

The athletic guard has been on a tear as of late, averaging 33 points per game over the last two matchups.

In his first battle against Arizona earlier this season, Wright underwhelmed, finishing with just seven points on an abysmal 3/16 shooting. Considering the mindset of the BYU star, expect him to use this rematch as a chance to remind the Wildcats just how talented he is.

With 30+ points in each of his last two games, the odds are too good to pass up the chance that Wright ends this matchup with 20+ points.

Labaron Philon Jr. UNDER 21.5 Points (-110) vs. Arkansas

Labaron Philon Jr.’s decision to return to Alabama for another season continues to look brilliant after a breakout sophomore season in head coach Nate Oats’s system. Averaging 21.3 points, 4.9 assists, and 3.5 rebounds, on 50.7% shooting, and 39.6% from beyond the arc.

The Crimson Tide star has proven multiple times he can score with the best of them, but he’s not always asked to carry the offensive load as a scorer. Instead, he’s often needed to be a consistent playmaker with the ball in his hands.

Philon has finished with less than 2o points in five of his last six games, with each of those matchups coming against SEC competition.

Obviously, Philon could take this matchup personally with fellow top draft prospect Darius Acuff Jr. on the opposing side. However, the numbers still suggest that Alabama’s dynamic guard will finish under the 21.5-point set total.

Arkansas enters this matchup ranked No. 20 as John Calipari continues to revamp the Razorbacks’ program in hopes of making another deep postseason push when March comes around. Meanwhile, Alabama rounds out the Top 25, with tournament aspirations of its own. This matchup will be a good measuring stick for each side, and with the conference race as tight as it’s ever been, expect both teams to come out swinging.
