New DraftKings Customers: Bet $5, Get $200 + 3 Months of NBA League Pass Points Prop #1: Daniel Jacobson (+105)
Jacobson played limited minutes for the Purdue Boilermakers last season. He averaged 5.5 points in only 13.0 minutes per game. He flashed efficiency, shooting 64.6% from the field, including 37.5% from deep on limited volume, but he saw mixed results at the line, shooting 62.7%.
The junior big man saw limited minutes in his first two exhibition games, scoring eight and 11 points. He followed that up with only seven points in 22 minutes in a tough matchup against UConn before scoring 22 points in 27 minutes against Gonzaga in Purdue’s opener.
The Boilermakers face the Valparaiso Beacons tonight, and they don’t have the size to contain Jacobson inside. They lack height and talent behind starting center Carter Hopoi, so Purdue should get Jacobson plenty of touches at the rim tonight.
Best Bet: Daniel Jacobson Over 14.5 points (+105 @ DraftKings Sportsbook)
PRA Prop #1: Nik Khamenia (-110)
Khamenia got plenty of playing time as a freshman for Duke, but he was never the focal point of their offense. Overall, he averaged 5.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.0 assist in 19.8 minutes per game.
The sophomore transferred to UConn with an expanded role in mind. That’s been the case early in his Huskies career. Here’s his game log this season:
- vs. Syracuse: 12 points, eight rebounds, and three assists in 30 minutes
- vs. Michigan State: 19 points, six rebounds, and two assists in 34 minutes
- vs. Purdue: eight points, 11 rebounds, and two assists in 24 minutes
- vs. Gardner-Webb: 14 points, six rebounds, and three assists in 26 minutes
Braylon Mullins and Khamenia are the offense's two clear focal points, and they’ll both continue to get plenty of looks nightly. Silas Demary also enters the season as one of college basketball's best facilitators, creating better scoring opportunities for his teammates.
Best Bet: Nik Khamenia Over 19.5 PRA (-110 @ DraftKings Sportsbook)
PRA Prop #2: Malique Ewin (-120)
Ewin was one of the players waiting on an eligibility waiver, and he’s been cleared to play for Oregon. He got lost in the shuffle at Arkansas last season after dominating at Florida State, but he’s back in an offense expected to run through him.
The veteran big man took a step back at Arkansas, averaging 9.8 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.0 assist in only 21.0 minutes per game. He was a highly sought-after transfer after averaging 14.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 26.2 minutes per game for Florida State the season before.
Ewin looks to return to his old form as a focal point of this Oregon Ducks rotation. He posted 14 points, 13 rebounds, and two assists in 24 minutes against Montana in their first game of the season. More importantly, he shot 31.6% and got to the line, while rebounding at an elite level.
Best Bet: Malique Ewin Over 21.5 PRA (-120 @ DraftKings Sportsbook)
PRA Prop #3: Isaac Asuma (-130)
Asuma looked good for Minnesota last season, averaging 10.9 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in 34.4 minutes per game. He was never the focal point of the offense with Cade Tyson around, but I’m more interested in his overall versatility.
The junior flashed that versatility throughout the offseason. He posted eight points, five rebounds, and four assists in 28 minutes against Omaha before scoring 32 points, five rebounds, and two assists in 42 minutes in a double-overtime loss to Creighton.
I still expect Jaylen Crocker-Johnson to get the most shots for the Gophers this season, but Asuma could slide into a secondary scorer role. He’s a versatile player who can score 20+ points when he gets shots.
Best Bet: Isaac Asuma Over 22.5 PRA (-130 @ DraftKings Sportsbook)
Rebounds Prop #1: Nolan Winter (+110)
Winter returns to the Wisconsin Badgers for his senior season in 2026-27. He’s been one of the country's best rebounders, averaging 8.5 rebounds in 30.6 minutes per game last season.
This is an extremely high total, but we’re getting an outstanding matchup for Winter. Delaware could give Winter big minutes, but they should still struggle to score, creating more rebounding opportunities.
Winter dominated the glass for Wisconsin in their first game of the season. He posted 14 rebounds in 35 minutes. No other player had more than five rebounds.
Another way to attack this matchup is a Winter double-double, if your preferred sportsbook offers it.
Best Bet: Nolan Winter Over 10.5 rebounds (+110 @ DraftKings Sportsbook)
