Underdog Fantasy College Basketball Picks December 21
Matthew Dewoskin Underdog Fantasy College Basketball Pick Em Record (Est 11/4/2024)
All Pick Em Selections: 69-55-2
Perfect 3-0 Pick Em Entries: 9-32
Otega Oweh Higher Than 20.5 Points+Rebounds+Assists
The Kentucky Wildcats get to face the Ohio State Buckeyes in MSG on the same day OSU football plays in the College Football Playoff. Expect Kenrucky’s Otega Oweh to get his in this match up.
Ohio State enters this game allowing opponents to grab 33.4 rebounds. That’s 100th in the country. The Buckeyes also 18.2 fouls per game. That’s 235th in the country.
Otega Oweh can grab a few boards, and is really good at getting to the line. He’s also averaging 15.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.8 assists. Oweh has gone higher that 20.5 PRA in eight out of 11 games played this season.
Kentucky should wreck Ohio State on a day that very few in Columbus will be traveling to New York for a basketball game. Oweh should benefit, and go higher on his PRA total in your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry for December 21st.
Tyler Bilodeau Higher Than 6.5 Rebounds+Assists
UCLA also meets North Carolina in MSG today. North Carolina enters this game allowing opponents to grab 37.7 rebounds per game and hand out 13.7 assists per game. UCLA big man Tyler Bilodeau should get his against a leaky UNC defense.
Bilodeau comes into this one averaging 5.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. He’s gone higher than 6.5 rebounds and assists in only three of 11 games this year. However, the match up is too good to pass up.
Bilodeau is going to play close to 35 minutes, and the pace of play should be higher than normal. He should get plenty of opportunities to fill up the stat sheet, and you’ll want to go higher on his rebounds and assists total.
Derik Queen Higher Than 28.5 Points+Rebounds+Assists
Syracuse heads to Maryland for a match up with the Terrapins today. Terps big man Derik Queen should absolutely eat in this game.
Syracuse comes into this match up allowing opposing teams to score 79.5 points per game. That’s 312th in the country. They also allow opponents to grab 34.0 rebounds per game. That’s 128th in the nation. Finally, the Orange give up 14.1 assists per game. That’s 232nd in the nation.
Queen enters this game averaging 17.3 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game. He’s gone higher than 28.5 PRA in six out of 11 games this year. A lot of the misses are buy games that he played fewer than 25 minutes in.
Queen should get his normal workload against the Orange, and you’ll want to to make sure you go higher on his PRA total in your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry.
