Underdog Fantasy College Basketball Picks February 18
Matt Dewoskin Underdog Fantasy College Basketball Pick Em Record (Est 11/4/2024)
All Pick Em Selections: 147-126-3
Perfect 3-0 Pick Em Entries: 15-77
Keshon Gilbert Higher Than 16.5 Points + Assists
Colorado heads to Ames, IA for a match up with Iowa State tonight. This is a solid match up for Iowa State guard Keshon Gilbert.
The Buffaloes enter this game allowing opponents to average 12.7 assists per game. That’s 126th in the nation. Colorado also allows opponents to score 71.6 points per game. That’s 148th in the nation.
Gilbert comes into this match up averaging 14.5 points and 5.6 assists per game at home. If he just plays to his averages, he crushes this number. Iowa State has played Colorado twice this year already, and Gilbert has gone higher than 16.5 points and assists in both games.
Gilbert has only gone higher than 16.5 PA in one of his last five, but this is a great ‘get right’ spot for him. He’s had success against Colorado this year, and they already got their conference win. This should be a smash spot for the Cyclones and Gilbert should soar over 16.5 PA for your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry.
Obi Agbim Higher Than 1.5 3-Pointers Made
The Air Force Academy takes a trip to Laramie, WY for a game against the Wyoming Cowboys. This is a great spot for Cowboys guard Obi Agbim to go higher than 1.5 3-pointers made.
Air Force allows opponents to shoot 37.1% from beyond the arc this year. That’s 340th in the nation.
Agbim averages 3.3 made 3-pointers at home this year. He’s gone higher than 1.5 made three’s in four out of five conference home games this year. Agbim has also gone higher than 1.5 made shots from beyond the arc in 12 of his last 15 games played.
This number is a little low because he only managed one made 3-pointer in back-to-back road games. We’ve got the right match up for Agbim to get right, and you’ll want to add him to your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry for February 18th.
Kobe Johnson Higher Than 2.5 Assists
Minnesota gets out of the land of a thousand lakes and heads to Los Angeles for a match up with UCLA tonight. UCLA guard Kobe Johnson should have a solid night.
Johnson’s PRA is also in play, but we’re going to stick with the safer assists play against the Golden Gophers. He comes into this game averaging 3.4 assists per game at home this season. Johnson has also gone higher than 2.5 assists in four of six conference home games.
Minnesota allows opponents to dish out 14.8 assists per game this year. That’s 304th in the nation. It looks like a lot of back doors have been open in Minnesota this year.
Johnson fills up the stat sheets, but his assists at home has been a lot more consistent and he gets a tasty match up against the Gophers after a long flight out west. Look for Johnson to rack up at least three assists tonight for your Underdog Fantasy college basketball entry.
