College Basketball Props: Sweet 16 Prop Bets for Friday
Braylon Mullins 2+ Made Threes (-192)
Mullins might be ready to break out, and although you can make a case for him to hit three-plus trifectas at +142 odds, I prefer this bet.
An ice-cold March has spoiled Mullins' shooting numbers, dropping his season-long three-point percentage to 33.3%. Prior to March, he'd hit at least 38.3% of his three in each of December, January and February, so that tells you how bad this month as been for Mullins.
Before a 2-for-6 day against UCLA in the Round of 32, Mullins was a putrid 6 of 42 from three in his previous six games.
He's too good of a shooter to keep running that cold, and his 17-point showing versus UCLA hints at the sharpshooting freshman finding his rhythm.
Today's date with Michigan State can help, too, as Sparty allows the 21st-highest three-point attempt rate (46.3%).
Morez Johnson Jr. to Record 8+ Rebounds (-106)
The over/under for Alabama-Michigan is a lofty 173.5 -- the highest of today's four games by an astounding 32.0 points.
The fast pace should lead to a lot of possessions and a lot of rebound chances for Johnson.
An elite athlete, Johnson is well suited for an up-and-down track meet, and that's what this game should be.
The Wolverines have a big edge on the boards over Alabama -- Michigan is eighth in total rebound rate (56.4%), well ahead of Alabama's ranking of 168th (50.8%).
Johnson is one of the main rebounders for Michigan, averaging 7.3 rebounds per game. He totaled at least eight boards in both of Michigan's tourney wins last week, and in a game where possessions should come at a rapid pace, Johnson can register at least eight rebounds.
Tamin Lipsey 2+ Made Threes (+148)
Since I gave you a -192 bet earlier, here's a plus-money prop.
The Iowa State-Tennessee game is going to be hand-to-hand combat between two top-shelf defensive teams.
Although the Vols are elite on D, they surrender a lot of three-point looks, permitting the 34th-highest three-point attempt rate (44.9%) on the year.
Enter Lipsey.
Not normally a high-volume shooter from beyond the arc, Lipsey takes only 3.9 treys per game. The volume can get a boost due to the Vols' defensive style, and Lipsey is on fire at the moment, draining 15 threes across his past seven games and shooting 42.9% from deep in that span. He's hit at least two triples in five of those seven games.
