The college basketball season tips off today and SBR's Mike Spector shares his best NCAAB player prop picks for Monday, November 3rd:
Boogie Flant Over 13.5 points (-130 via bet365)
"Arkansas transfer Boogie Fland has some big shoes to fill in the Florida backcourt that is missing Walter Clayton, Alijah Martin, and Will Richard from last year’s national championship squad.
That trio was the team’s three leading scorers, averaging 46 points per game. I expect Fland, who averaged 15.1 points over the first 18 games last year before suffering a hand injury, to be relied upon heavily in the season opener against a talented Arizona squad."
Jaden Bradley Over 18.5 points + assists (-125 via FanDuel)
"Fellow backcourt mate Caleb Love is gone from last year Arizona’s squad, so Wildcats point guard Jaden Bradley will have to take on more responsibility early in the season.
Bradley was surging towards the end of last season when he averaged 12.8 points and 3.1 assists over the team’s final seven games (which included all Big 12 Tournament and NCAA Tournament games). In that stretch, Bradley also connected on 53% of his 3-point attempts.
I would not put anyone off backing the Over on Bradley’s 3-point makes, as he should be bombing away early and often so as not to challenge Florida’s mammoth frontcourt in the paint."
Kansas Under 91.5 team total points (-120 via bet365)
"Kansas guard Darryn Peterson is the projected No. 1 pick in ESPN’s 2026 MBA mock draft, and could go down as the most talented player Bill Self ever coached. But the roster around him has many doubting what the Jayhawks’ long-term successes for this season will look like.
Kansas also has a huge non-conference matchup against North Carolina looming on Friday and Duke 11 days later, so I expect Self will look to build other players’ confidence levels before then.
Green Bay was one of the worst D-I teams last year, going 4-28, and ranked 342nd in adjusted defensive efficiency. But the Phoenix held each of their first two power conference opponents to 89 or fewer points last year, making this team total seem inflated."
AJ Dybansta Over 7.5 rebounds (-105 via bet365)
"BYU’s AJ Dybantsa is another player in the early mix to be next year’s top NBA draft pick.
We got our first chance to see Dybantsa play against elite competition in the Cougars’ 78-76 exhibition win over North Carolina, while he scored a team-high 18 points and grabbed eight rebounds.
I am giving first-year Villanova head coach Kevin Willard credit for his brilliant defensive mind, as his Maryland squad finished seventh in adjusted defensive efficiency and in the top 25 in effective field goal percentage and 3-point defense.
While that has me hesitant to back the Over on Dybantsa’s point total (O/U 17.5), I expect him to be a menace on the boards, especially on the offensive glass against Villanova’s inexperienced frontcourt."
