🏀 UAB vs. Memphis ATS prediction & best player prop bet pick

Here's why I'm betting on UAB to cover the spread (+4.5) while targeting Dain Dainja Over 8.5 rebounds as my best player prop bet pick for today:

✅ UAB to cover the spread (+4.5) ⭐⭐

UAB lost its two regular-season meetings with Memphis by scores of 100-77 and 88-81. The first meeting saw Memphis score an AAC season-high points at the rim at the time, as Tigers forward Dain Dainja had his way with Yaxel Lendeborg.

But I expect Blazers head coach Andy Kennedy to throw the kitchen sink at Memphis in this matchup, constantly changing defenses and extending his trapping zone more than usual.

The last three meetings between these teams have averaged 80 possessions. But I expect UAB to take a long look at yesterday’s Memphis-Tulane game film and replicate what the Green Wave did so well to get the tempo in their favor.

Although they are not among the March Madness odds favorites, UAB covered the spread in 65% of its conference games this season and both in the AAC tournament, so I am backing the Blazers on the point spread.

All of our top sports betting sites are in unison with a spread of +4.5, but FanDuel is the only one charging less than -108 odds to back the underdogs.

🔥 Dain Dainja Over 8.5 rebounds ⭐⭐⭐

Dain Dainja had a season-high 17 rebounds and one of his seven double-doubles in the second meeting against UAB.

With eight rebounds in the first meeting, he went slightly under this projected total and didn't grab a single offensive rebound. That is unlikely to happen in this matchup, as he has multiple offensive rebounds in six of the previous seven games.

I am excited to back Dainja’s rebounding total at plus-money odds in a game that should have many possessions. I expect him to finish with nine-plus rebounds for the fifth time in his last eight games.

📊 Best odds: +110 via bet365 (bet $10 to win $11)
