🔥 Yaxel Landeborg Under 31.5 points + rebounds ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Landeborg leads the UAB Blazers in points (17.8) and rebounds (11.2) per game. He also paces them in assists, blocks, and steals, but we’re fading him in these two markets for two reasons.
One, this is a generous total relative to his season average (29). And secondly, UC Irvine's frontcourt is a lot tougher than most Landeborg has been facing this season.
Like Landeborg, UC Irvine’s Leuchten leads the team in points, rebounds, and blocks. The 7-foot-1 center and his 6-foot-10 teammate Kyle Evans are combining to average 2.5 blocks per game. UC Irvine ranks second nationally in opponents' 2-point shooting percentage (43%) this season and 43rd in overall rebound rate (52.8%).
The 6-foot-9 Landeborg is a force everywhere on the floor, and he'll likely play close to 40 minutes, barring foul trouble. But it still makes sense to fade him against a larger frontcourt. Back him to stay Under this generous points and rebounds total.

🔥 Bent Leuchten Over 9.5 rebounds ⭐⭐⭐
Leuchten’s average of nine rebounds per game leads the Anteaters. While this total is higher than that, it’s crucial to remember he should play more minutes if this game is competitive. Further, it’s unclear who else UC Irvine will want on the floor to slow down Landeborg.
The center has recorded a pair of 10-rebound double-doubles and two seven-rebound games over four postseason contests. But he never surpassed the 30-minute mark. We saw him clear that playing-time threshold several times during the regular season. That includes a 35-minute, 12-rebound game versus UC Riverside.
Further, while UAB ranks an impressive eighth in offensive rebound rate this year (36.5%), that hustle hasn’t been extending to the other side of the floor. The team sits 208th in defensive rebound rate (71.9%)
📊 Best odds: -110 via FanDuel ($10 to win $9.09)
🔥 Justin Hohn Over 3.5 assists ⭐⭐⭐
Hohn is averaging 3.7 assists per game, but we can get him to go Over 3.5 for a generous +120 at FanDuel. This wager is our plus-money prop for tonight’s action, and while I don’t love it, the math does point to some value here.
The guard tallied five assists during UC Irvine’s first-round game against Northern Colorado before notching just a single assist throughout the second-round game while facing Jacksonville State. However, his season median (four) and Hohn's 20-17 record to the Over with this prop both suggest it should be closer to +100.
📊 Best odds: +120 via FanDuel ($10 to win $12)
