Here are the three best March Madness PrizePicks plays for Wednesday, March 20.
Wednesday's Best NCAA Tournament PrizePicks Player Predictions
Both the Tigers and the Bobcats are terrible at rebounding. The Tigers rank 343rd in the country with 30.8 rebounds per game. The Tigers rank 355th, averaging 29.9 rebounds per game. With neither team having a decided advantage, back the best rebounder in this game to have a solid outing.
Ford III averages 7.6 boards per game. In the Big Sky title game, he pulled down nine rebounds. He only has seven games with double-digit rebound numbers this season, so his ceiling isn't very high. However, he can still go under his season average and hit this prop. The Tigers don't have much of a presence inside, so it's surprising to see this number so low.
The Broncos and the Buffaloes are both great at defending the three-point line. Because of that, a lot of the scoring in this contest is likely going to come from inside the arc.
Anderson averages just 6.2 points and 0.7 made three-pointers per game. He's combined for 26 points in his last two games, knocking down two three-pointers in each. But before that, he went five consecutive games without making a three-pointer. In three of those games, he didn't even attempt one. In a bad matchup, expect all of Anderson's good looks to come from inside the arc.
Da Silva is averaging 15.8 points per game, but he's struggled over his last four games. He hasn't scored more than 14 since March 7th and scored just nine against the Oregon Ducks in the Pac-12 Tournament.
The Broncos are solid inside with Tyson Degengart their leading scorer at 17.0 points per game. He and O'Mar Stanley both average over six rebounds per game, and their collective size will give da Silva problems all game long. Because da Silva is entering this difficult matchup cold, there's no reason to back his over, even though his total is lower than his season average.
