Guards
Cade Cunningham (Oklahoma State) vs. TCU
Cunningham is a extremely talented freshman and has been a dominating competitor from the time he stepped on to the court. He returned to the lineup in Ok State’s last game, and played 31 minutes. He did not start, but should be back in the starting lineup tonight. He is a guy that averaged over 33 minutes per game this year. He is a very skilled scorer and a very good rebounder, as evidenced by his nearly 7 rebounds per game. Ok State plays an up tempo style of basketball, and TCU really struggles defensively. Look for a big game tonight from the Freshman phenom.
Cameron Thomas (LSU) vs. Alabama
Cam Thomas has an insane 34% usage rate, and is getting up over 19 FGA per game. He is a very talented scorer, averaging 23 ppg. This game is one that we should and will be targeted heavily. This game has a total that is 10 points higher than the next highest one. Both teams play up-tempo and at times struggle on the defensive end. Alabama scored 105 on LSU last time they faced each other, and beat them by 30, I do expect this game to be much tighter. Cameron Thomas is priced just above 7k and is a really strong play in all formats.
Forwards
Trendon Watford (LSU) vs. Alabama
Another target from this game that makes a ton of sense at a very favorable price is Trendon Watford. Watford is a very skilled scoring wing who is also a very strong rebounder. He has a 26% usage rate, and will need to produce in all areas tonight if LSU wants to keep up with the fire power that Alabama has. I love Watford in all formats tonight. You will want at a minimum 3 guys from this game in your main lineup.
Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (Villanova) vs. St. Johns
St. Johns is ranked #120 in the nation in defensive efficiency, and are allowing teams to shoot over 53% from the field. Robinson-Earl is playing over 33 minutes per game and carries a 24% usage rate. He is a very good rebounder and a skilled passer as well. St. Johns will push the tempo in this game, due to them being ranked inside the top 15 in the nation in terms of tempo. Look for JRE to thrive in this game, and could easily push for a double/double here.
