The Purdue Boilermakers have a long history of developing elite big men under Matt Painter. We’ve seen players like Zach Edey, Trey Kaufman-Renn, Trevion Williams, Isaac Haas, Caleb Swanigan, AJ Hammons, and Robbie Hummel thrive. Jacobsen is the next in line.
The 7’4 junior waited for his opportunity, and now he’s the focal point of Purdue’s offense. He boasts a 25.2% shot rate with a 78.1% FT rate through three games. More importantly, he’s shooting 84% at the line and 79.3% from two-point range.
Jacobsen gets an elite matchup against the Ohio Bobcats. They’ve struggled to defend the paint this season, and they’re a team willing to foul. They don’t have a single player who can match up with Jacobsen’s size inside, and Purdue should be looking to get him the ball early and often after three straight 20+ point games to start the season.
Best Bet: Daniel Jacobsen Over 19.5 points (-130 @ DraftKings Sportsbook)
Points Prop #2: Braylon Mullins (-115)
Mullins was expected to be the focal point of the UConn offense after withdrawing from the NBA Draft. That’s been the case early on, as he boasts a 32.6% shot rate with a 52.8% FT rate through three games. He’s been an efficient option overall, but he’s only shooting 30.8% from deep, which is likely to get better as the season progresses.
The Huskies haven’t been in any games that have come down to the wire, as their 8-point win against Michigan was more comfortable than the score indicates. He hasn’t played more than 26 minutes in any game, but we’ve already seen him score 20 or more points twice.
Mullins gets an interesting matchup against Ohio State tonight. They haven’t flashed an elite defense, giving up 94 points in a loss to BYU. The Buckeyes have allowed opponents to score at all three levels, and Mullins should get back to form after a blowout win over Wagner.
Best Bet: Braylon Mullins Over 17.5 points (-115 @ DraftKings Sportsbook)
Points Prop #3: Andre Mills (-130)
Mills has seen mixed results early this season, but he’s primed for a full-season breakout. He boasts a ridiculous 38.1% shot rate through two games. He hasn’t shot efficiently from beyond the arc, but similarly to Mullins, that should get better as the season progresses.
Mills took on an elite role in two exhibition games, suggesting he can continue seeing high shot volume. He scored 27 points on 15 FGA in 36 minutes against West Virginia to go along with 11 points on nine FGA in 20 minutes against Georgia Tech. He scored 22 points in the opener against Bucknell before struggling with only nine points against Georgetown.
There are two obvious concerns for Mills. First, the matchup against Virginia is awful. They consistently feature an elite defense, but they will focus on slowing down Pharrel Payne, allowing others to get open looks from deep. Second, Mills hasn’t played big minutes yet this season, and I’m not entirely sure he’s going to get 30+ minutes even in a big game. He’s the type of player who can beat this total against a tough defense, even in limited minutes, though.
Best Bet: Andre Mills Over 11.5 points (-130 @ DraftKings Sportsbook)
Points Prop #4: Roddie Anderson III (-115)
Anderson’s bounced around throughout his collegiate career, but he’s always been a scorer. He’s completely taken over the Seton Hall offense this season, posting a 35% shot rate with a 66.7% FT rate through three games. He hasn’t been able to finish at the rim, but he’s shooting a ridiculous 55.6% from deep.
Seton Hall hasn’t played high-level competition this season, but they have played in two competitive games. Anderson’s played 28 minutes in both of those games, scoring 17 and 19 points. More importantly, he’s averaging 12.0 FGA, 6.5 3PA, and 8.0 FTA in those games.
Anderson gets an elite matchup against Alabama. They feature a solid defense in terms of efficiency, but they play at such a fast pace that there should be plenty of points available. Alabama also lets its opponents shoot 3-pointers at a high rate, giving an edge to Anderson.
Best Bet: Roddie Anderson III Over 14.5 points (-115 @ DraftKings Sportsbook)
Points Prop #5: Josh Hubbard (-105)
Hubbard dealt with a head injury in the offseason, which limited him overall. He hasn’t played as big of a role in the offense as you’d expect, but that’s also likely due to Mississippi State playing in blowouts early this season.
The senior guard has been one of the best scorers in college basketball for multiple seasons, and I don’t expect that to change here. He gets an elite matchup against Xavier in a game that is expected to be competitive throughout.
Xavier is playing at one of the fastest paces in the country, meaning this game is going to have extra possessions. The matchup isn’t perfect for Hubbard’s style, but he’s a good enough scorer to find points at multiple levels, and that’s what I expect tonight.
Best Bet: Josh Hubbard Over 17.5 points (-105 @ DraftKings Sportsbook)
