The No. 1 seed Duke Blue Devils (31-3) will begin their quest for a national title today at 2:50 p.m. ET (CBS) when they face the No. 16 seed Mount St. Mary’s Mountaineers (23-12) in the first round of the East Region.

The Blue Devils are 32.5-point betting favorites, though all eyes will be on the likely No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming NBA draft, Cooper Flagg, after he suffered an ankle injury in the ACC tournament. 

Our Cooper Flagg player props, predictions, and SGP odds are backing him on the glass against a smaller team as part of our March Madness predictions as he returns to the lineup.

For more on this game, we also dropped our Duke vs. Mount St. Mary's prediction.

🏀 Duke -32 ⭐⭐

This is a “name your number” game for the Blue Devils, who are the most popular national champ pick for a reason. Duke’s KenPom net rating of +38.27 is the highest mark since the 1999 Blue Devils, who had a +43.01 and lost in the title game.

Duke hasn’t messed around against inferior foes this year. The Blue Devils demolished Maine (96-62) in the opener and Army (100-58) in Game 2.

This spread is as low as -32 at Caesars, suggesting Flagg and Co. should roll on Friday.

📊 Best odds: -110 via Caesars ($10 to win $9.09)

🏀 Cooper Flagg Over 7.5 rebounds ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Embed content edzezIWDCUs image

Flagg, who is 6-foot-9, is as tall as the tallest player on the Mountaineers’ roster. Mount St. Mary’s ranks 230th in the nation in average height, leading to a solid rebound deficit when facing high majors like Maryland and Georgetown earlier this year.

Flagg opened the year by clearing this rebounds line in three of his first four games when playing inferior competition. He grabbed 11 boards against Army and nine rebounds against Wofford.

I expect a similar outcome in this first-round matchup. Fanatics has a slightly better price on the Over at -105 than FanDuel’s -106 value, but either is worth a play.

📊 Best odds: -105 via Fanatics ($10 to win $9.52)

🏀 Cooper Flagg Under 4.5 assists ⭐⭐⭐

If you believe Flagg won’t play as much in a blowout after getting injured in the conference tourney, his assist prop might be the most valuable angle. 

Flagg has averaged 4.1 assists per game this season, finishing below this mark in 18 of his 32 games. He cleared this mark only three times before Christmas during non-conference play.

Fanatics’ -145 value is again more favorable than FanDuel’s -158 odds for this Under.

📊 Best odds: -145 via Fanatics ($10 to win $6.90)
