Underdog Fantasy College Basketball Picks December 23
Matthew Dewoskin Underdog Fantasy College Basketball Pick Em Record (Est 11/4/2024)
All Pick Em Selections: 71-59-2
Perfect 3-0 Pick Em Entries: 9-35
Rollie Worster Lower Than 14.5 Points+Rebounds+Assists
Nebraska gets Hawaii in Honolulu in their second game at the Diamond Head Classic. The Rainbows are second in the nation in rebounds allowed to opponents and sixth in assists allowed to opponents through their first 10 games of the season. Nebraska point guard Rollie Worster will struggle to fill up the stat sheet.
Worster comes into this game averaging 8.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game this year. He’s gone higher than 14.5 PRA in only four out of 10 games this year.
Worster’s minute load is also a bit lighter this year than seasons past. He’s averaging 29.3 minutes per game for his career, but only 24.1 minutes per game this year. He just played 24 minutes yesterday against Murray State, and may have a more limited role in tonight’s match up. He’s played fewer than 20 minutes in three out of 10 games this year.
Given the turnaround, the match up, and the player, this is a sold spot to fade Worster. Go lower on his PRA total for your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry for December 23.
Great Osobor Higher Than 3.5 Assists
The Seattle Redhawks and Washington Huskies meet at the Alaska Airlines Arena in Seattle tonight. Lock in the higher total on Great Osobor assists in your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry.
The Redhawks enter this game allowing opponents to dish out 16.0 assists per game. That’s 322nd in the nation. They also allow 0.586 assists per field goal made. That’s 303rd in the nation, and indicates that they allow at one assist for every two baskets made.
Osobor comes into this game averaging 3.7 assists per game. He’s gone higher than 3.5 in six of his last seven games. Osobor should see his normal workload in this match up as its a rivalry game and should stay a little closer than expected. The Huskies have NJIT on deck, so if there’s a game that he’ll feature less in, it’s probably that one.
Osobor has been fantastic at setting up his teammates, and should eat against the Redhawks tonight. Look to play the higher total tonight.
Zakai Zeigler Lower Than 1.5 Three-Pointers Made
The Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders visit Knoxville for a match up with the Tennessee Volunteers. MTSU enters this game allowing opponents to hit only 27.1% of their shots from three-point land. That’s fifth in the nation. You’ll want to fade Vols point guard Zakai Zeigler in this spot.
Zeigler enters this game averaging 1.7 made three-pointers per game this year, but he’s only shooting 27.1%. He’s also gone lower than 1.5 made three’s in six out of 11 games played this year. He’s also been on a three-game cold streak.
Go lower on Zeigler’s three-pointers made in your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry for December 23rd.
