Underdog Fantasy College Basketball Picks December 16
Matthew Dewoskin Underdog Fantasy College Basketball Pick Em Record (Est 11/4/2024)
All Pick Em Selections: 60-49-2
Spicy Multiplier Picks: 0-0
Perfect 3-0 Pick Em Entries: 7-30
Chance McMillan Higher Than 13.5 Points
Oral Roberts visits Lubbock, TX tonight. That means that points will be scored by Texas Tech. The Red Raiders average 84.7 points per game. Oral Roberts allows 82.0 points per game.
Chance McMillan should clear his point total in this one. The Golden Eagles really struggle with defending the three-point line, and McMillan can shoot from distance. Oral Roberts allows opponents to shoot 36.4% from beyond the arc. That’s 302nd in the nation. McMillan is shooting 53.5% from three-point land at home this year.
McMillan comes into this game averaging 15.7 points per game. He’s gone higher than 13.5 points in five out of nine games this season. He should get what he wants against a soft Oral Roberts defense. Go higher on his points total in your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry for tonight.
Randy Brady Lower Than 8.5 Rebounds + Assists
The South Alabama Jaguars head to Fort Worth to face the TCU Horned Frogs. This game is a back-to-back for South Alabama, and we’ll want to go lower on Randy Brady’s rebounds+assists.
Brady comes into this game averaging 5.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. Brady also averages 25.4 minutes per game. He just played 29 minutes yesterday, and should be in for a lower workload against a tough opponent. He’s gone lower than 8.5 rebounds and assists in five out of six games that he’s played fewer than 30 minutes in.
The Horned Frogs aren’t the toughest defense in the world, but they should be a challenge for a team on a back-to-back road spot. Brady shouldn’t get the same workload he normally gets, and you’ll want to go lower on his rebounds and assists total in your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry for December 16th.
Tytan Anderson Higher Than 12.5 Points
The Montana Grizzlies visit Northern Iowa tonight. This means that Panthers guard Tytan Anderson should eat.
The Grizzlies enter this game allowing opponents to average 79.4 points against this year. That’s 306th in the nation this year. They also allow opponents to shoot 53.6% on two-point shots. That’s 251st in the nation.
Tytan Anderson comes into this match up averaging 13.0 points per game overall, but that goes up to 14.3 PPG when he’s at home. Anderson doesn’t bomb it in from long distance. He’s better at getting the hoop and causing contact. Given the match up and how rough the Grizzlies are defensively, he should soar over his points total in your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry.
