Underdog Fantasy College Basketball Picks January 24
Matthew Dewoskin Underdog Fantasy College Basketball Pick Em Record (Est 11/4/2024)
All Pick Em Selections: 115-89-3
Perfect 3-0 Pick Em Entries: 14-55
Ben Gold Higher Than 1.5 3-Pointers Made
Villanova heads to Milwaukee for a match up with Marquette. The Wildcats allow opponents to shoot 36.0% from beyond the arc. Let’s jump on Marquette sharpshooter Ben Gold going higher than 1.5 made three-pointers.
Gold enters this game shooting 38.5% from deep, and he averages 1.9 made three’s per game. He’s gone higher than 1.5 made three-pointers in 12 out of 19 games played this year.
Villanova doesn’t defend the perimeter well, Gold is known for draining threes, and he gets to play in his building. This is a great number to catch here, and it’s one that you’ll want to play in your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry for January 24th.
Danny Wolf Higher Than 3.5 Assists
Michigan heads to Mackey Arena for a game against Purdue. We typically try to fade players on the road, but this is a great number and a good spot for Danny Wolf Assists.
Wolf enters this game averaging 3.9 assists per game. He’s gone higher than 3.5 assists in all three conference road games he’s played in, and it hasn’t been close.
Purdue allows opponents to average 14.1 assists per game. That’s 234th in the nation.
Wolf has looked to distribute more when playing away from Ann Arbor. The number given out makes sense based on his average, but given the spot and the opponent, this is a little low for Wolf. Let’s jump on the chalky number, and go higher on Wolf’s assists total in an Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry.
Drew Thelwell Higher Than 2.5 Assists
Penn State stops by Carver-Hawkeye Arena for a match up with Iowa. The Nittany Lions allow opponents to average 16.2 assists per game. That’s 337th in the nation. This is great spot to go higher on Drew Thelwell’s assists total.
Thelwell enters this game averaging 3.3 assists per game at home this year. He’s gone higher than 2.5 assists in nine out of 14 home games this year.
This is a case of the number, the trend, the player, and the spot all aligning. Thelwell has also seen a recent increase in minutes, and should get plenty of opportunities to go higher than 2.5 assists tonight. Lock this one in for your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry for January 24.
