📅 Saturday's March Madness odds & schedule

⛹️ Best No. 4 Texas A&M vs. No. 5 Michigan player prop bet, 5:15 p.m. ET (CBS), South Region

✅ Tre Donaldson Over 10.5 points ⭐⭐⭐⭐
📊 Best odds: -122 via FanDuel ($10 to win $8.22)

Here's why Phil Wood is betting on Tre Donaldson Over 10.5 points:

"Since the start of the Big Ten tournament, Donaldson has been one of the most consistent scorers for Michigan. He’s scored between 11 and 13 points in four consecutive games, and he just dropped 12 against UC San Diego. While he’s about to take on a very good defense, he’s averaging 11.6 points per game, and he’s shown up recently in games where the rest of the Wolverines’ offense has been nonexistent."

⛹️ Best No. 3 Texas Tech vs. No. 11 Drake player prop bet, 6:10 p.m. ET (TNT), West Region

✅ Bennett Stirtz Over 17.5 points ⭐⭐⭐
📊 Best odds: -102 via FanDuel ($10 to win $9.80)

Here's why Isaiah Sirois is betting on Bennett Stirtz Over 17.5 points:

"(Stirtz) played all 40 minutes on Thursday while scoring 21 points on 8-for-11 shooting from the field and going 3-for-3 from deep. That kind of efficiency won’t be easy to maintain against Tech, but he's the clear lead option for Drake's offense, and Stirtz will be on the court as long as the game is competitive."

⛹️ Best No. 1 Auburn vs. No. 9 Creighton player prop bet, 7:10 p.m. ET (TBS/truTV), South Region

✅ Johni Broome Over 10.5 rebounds ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
📊 Best odds: +114 via FanDuel ($10 to win $11.40)

Here's why Phil Wood is betting on Johni Broome Over 10.5 rebounds:

"Broome enters this matchup averaging 10.6 rebounds per game, which is eighth-best in the nation. Though he only pulled down 11 boards in the first round, he also played just 27 minutes. It was the first time he played fewer than 30 minutes in a game since Feb. 4."

⛹️ Best No. 3 Wisconsin vs. No. 6 BYU player prop bet, 7:45 p.m. ET (CBS), East Region

✅ Egor Demin to record 4+ assists ⭐⭐⭐
📊 Best odds: -120 via FanDuel ($10 to win $8.33)

Here's why Mike Spector is betting on Egor Demin to record 4+ assists:

"Demin has finished with three or fewer assists in four of the last six games. He now faces a Badgers defense that allows assists on fewer than half of opponents’ made field goals. However, Demin also had the second-highest assist rate in Big 12 play and ranked in the top eight in league play in percentage of his team’s percentage share."

⛹️ Best No. 1 Houston vs. No. 8 Gonzaga player prop bet, 8:40 p.m. ET (TNT), Midwest Region

✅ Ryan Nembhard Under 8.5 assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐
📊 Best odds: -145 via bet365 ($10 to win $6.90)

Here's why Brendan Schaeffer is betting on Ryan Nembhard Under 8.5 assists:

"Although we’re looking for Gonzaga to put together the kind of offensive game that can potentially lead to the upset, the line for assists on the Bulldogs’ star point guard is a bit elevated against a Houston team that simply doesn’t permit many assists against its zone defense."

👉 For more analysis, check out our Houston vs. Gonzaga prediction.

📊 Best Ryan Nembhard player prop bets & odds

⛹️ Best No. 2 Tennessee vs. No. 7 UCLA player prop bet, 9:40 p.m. ET (TBS/truTV), Midwest Region

✅ Zakai Zeigler Over 6.5 assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐
📊 Best odds: -130 via bet365 ($10 to win $7.69)

Here's why Brendan Schaeffer is betting on Zakai Zeigler Over 6.5 assists:

"Zeigler has the experience to carry Tennessee into the second weekend by spreading the basketball around and putting his teammates in position to score. He’s a threat on Saturday against a UCLA team that ranks outside the top 100 in assists allowed per game."
