🏀 Best March Madness Player Props Today: Elite Eight Picks & Odds for Sunday (March 29)
It's the second day of Elite Eight action, and our college basketball experts have found their best March Madness player props today for both Elite Eight games on Sunday.
Here's a look at what our experts are betting today as part of our March Madness predictions for every game in the 2026 NCAA Tournament.
🏀 Best Tennessee vs. Michigan player prop picks (2:15 PM ET, CBS)
| Player | Prop pick | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| Ja'Kobi Gillespie, G, Tennessee | Under 2.5 made 3-pointers (+140) | ⭐⭐⭐ |
| Yaxel Lendeborg, F, Michigan | Over 6.5 rebounds (+100) | ⭐⭐⭐ |
| Nate Ament, F, Tennessee | Under 16.5 points (-105) | ⭐⭐⭐ |
Here’s why Philip Wood is backing Tennessee's star guard Ja'Kobi Gillespie against a top-ranked Michigan defense:
"Gillespie is shooting just 33.9% from distance, and he's about to take on a defense that holds opponents to 30.7% from deep. While Gillespie averages 8.1 3-point attempts per game, he hasn't made more than three in 10 consecutive outings against power conference competition."
Wood is also fading Nate Ament against the Wolverines ferocious defense while backing Michigan forward Yaxel Lendeborg to own the glass in his Tennessee vs. Michigan player props.
🏆️ Who wins Tennessee vs. Michigan?
Wood expects the Wolverines to continue dominating their way to a Final Four berth with his Tennessee vs. Michigan prediction.
🏀 Best UConn vs. Duke player prop picks (5:05 PM ET, CBS)
| Player | Prop pick | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| Tarris Reed, C, UConn | Under 9.5 rebounds (-105) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Alex Karaban, F, UConn | Over 2.5 made 3-pointers (+125) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Cameron Boozer, F, Duke | Under 14.5 assists + rebounds (-120) | ⭐⭐⭐ |
Here’s why Mike Spector is fading Tarris Reed and doesn't expect him to continue dominating the glass against a No. 1-seeded Duke team:
"Tarris Reed should also draw the primary defensive assignment of Cameron Boozer, and Boozer has had a 30% or higher possession rate in five of the last six games. I’d like Reed to secure more boards if he wasn’t guarding the opposing player who is likely to have the most field-goal attempts."
Spector is also fading Boozer as he has to deal with Reed as well, while backing Alex Karaban to stay hot from deep in his UConn vs. Duke player props.
🏆️ Who wins UConn vs. Duke?
Spector is betting Under 134.5 in his UConn vs. Duke prediction, expecting a low-scoring game between two premier defenses.
