LSU vs Kentucky: 3 Player Prop Predictions for Wednesday, March 11

Happy Hump Day, all! We’re less than two weeks away from the start of March Madness, and the NBA’s regular season has just over a month remaining. We’re getting down to the wire when it comes to the basketball season, and we’re excited to watch it all unfold.

There are some awesome college games on the slate tonight as some conference tournaments are starting to wrap up. It was hard to pick which one we wanted to hone in on, but we decided to focus our attention on LSU vs Kentucky in the SEC Tournament. Let’s take a peek at our favorite player props in this one, all of which can be found on Underdog!

Denzel Aberdeen OVER 7.5 Rebounds & Assists

Denzel Aberdeen has been on a heater lately for Kentucky. He’s had 8+ rebounds & assists in 4 straight games, a reliable player in these two aspects of the game. We would be ready to take the over based on this trend alone, believing he’s going to keep it going in a must-win game, but there’s more to this. LSU allows 34.7 rebounds per game to their opponents, which should give Aberdeen that many more chances in that area, making it a relatively sweat-free play for him to have 8+ RA.

Otega Oweh OVER 20.5 Points

While we’re very confident in Aberdeen to have a big night from a rebound and assist perspective, we’re equally confident in Otega Oweh to put up a bunch of points. He’s had 21+ in five of his past six outings, including 28 points in his most recent game against Florida. Oweh is going to be a big part of Kentucky’s formula to winning this game and potentially going on a deep Tournament run, so we’re riding with his point total until further notice.

Jalen Reese OVER 10.5 Points

It’s a game of all overs for us, but it’s not without good reason. Jalen Reese is only averaging 5.6 points per game on the season, but he’s come alive lately. He’s had 11+ points in six of his past seven games, which is largely due to him getting a lot more playing time. The Tigers have now come to rely on Reese having double-digit performances, and we’re expecting the same out of him in this one.
