All Pick Em Selections: 123-99-3
Perfect 3-0 Pick Em Entries: 14-61

LeJuan Watts Higher Than 6.5 Rebounds

Washington State travels to Stockton, CA to meet Pacific. The Pacific Tigers allow opponents to grab 35.8 rebounds per game. That’s 238th in the nation. LeJuan Watts should fill up his rebounds column here.

Watts played the Tigers about three weeks ago and grabbed eight boards. He’s also averaging 8.8 rebounds per game on the road. Watts has gone higher than 6.5 rebounds in 15 out of 22 games played this year.

Pacific doesn’t have much muscle inside, and Watts should have no problem finding good positions on the inside. Make sure you go higher on Watts’ rebounds total in your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry for January 30th.

Alex Merkviladze Higher Than 5.5 Rebounds

Portland heads to Los Angeles for a match up with Loyola Marymount. The Pilots are allowing opponents to grab 37.4 rebounds per game this year. That’s 299th in the nation. This is a great spot for LMU big man Alex Merkviladze.

Merkviladze comes into this match up averaging 6.3 rebounds per game. He’s gone higher than 5.5 rebounds in 13 out of 20 games played this year. Merkviladze played against Portland three times last year. He posted 10, 7, and 8 rebounds in those three games.

LMU should roll in this game, and Merkviladze should have plenty of chances to pull down rebounds. Lock this play into your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry for January 30th.

Kobe Johnson Higher Than 8.5 Rebounds+Assists

Oregon pays a visit to Pauley Pavilion for a game against UCLA. Let’s roll with Bruins guard Kobe Johnson to stuff the stat sheet with rebounds and assists.

The Ducks head to Los Angeles allowing opponents to grab 33.7 rebounds per game. That’s 118th in the nation. Oregon also allows opponents to dish out 12.6 assists per game. That’s 126th in the nation.
