Welcome to Brian’s CBB slate breakdown. In this article, I will share a few of my top plays on the slate, and discuss who you should target in cash and gpp contests. If you would like to gain access to our CBB core plays, final thoughts, and premium discord, click here.
Guards
Aaron Wiggins (Maryland) vs. Purdue
Wiggins comes into this game with a 27% usage rate, and is playing well over 30 minutes per game. He is also averaging over 14.5 ppg on the year. Purdue does have a top 30 team defense in terms of defensive efficiency, however they are giving up high shooting percentages to opposing teams. I expect him to continue to play big minutes and be one of the most efficient players on this Maryland team. We are getting him at a nice discount, being priced right at 6k. At his price he can get to 4x easy, with 5-6x not out of the question.
Ayo Dosunmu (Illinois) vs. Indiana
Ayo has a 30% usage rate and is a player that has the ball in his hands a lot throughout the game. He has a tough matchup vs. this Indiana team, however he did score 30 real points against them in their last matchup. Look for him to be highly active in this game on both ends of the court. He has steal and block upside to go along with good rebounding and assist numbers. I think he is in a really good price range and comes with an elite ceiling.
Forwards
Aaron Henry (Michigan State) vs. Iowa
Henry owns a 27% usage rate and is playing well over 30 minutes per game. He is an athletic wing that has not only really strong scoring abilities, but he is a really good rebounder and has shot blocking upside. This game has the highest total on the slate and both teams play an up-tempo style of offense. Look for the tempo to benefit Henry’s skill set here, and he will need to score at a high rate tonight to keep up with this lethal Iowa offense.
Tyler Wahl (Wisconsin) vs. Penn State
Wahl has started in 5 straight games now, and has played 30 minutes in 4 of those 5 games. He does not have the best usage rate, but his rate has trended up since he joined the starting 5. He is a solid scorer and rebounder, while also adding upside through his shot blocking abilities. He is still priced down below 6k, despite being inserted into the starting lineup and playing a much larger role for this Wisconsin team. I really like targeting him at this price. He just played Penn State three days ago, and had 13 points and 10 rebounds. He also had 2 blocked shots. I see him having the same amount of success tonight vs. a Penn State team that struggles defending opposing teams interior offenses.
