NCAA Tournament - PrizePicks DFS Prop Picks

Jalen Duren Over 12.5 Points. March Madness has a different feel to it this year. With some aspects of the pandemic easing, we can look forward. Okay, we can center on things better. In this case, Jalen Duren of Memphis is worth a look on Thursday against a Boise State team that is not nearly as athletic as they are prodding. Duren was one of the few players that showed up versus Houston (eight shot attempts, 14 points). It is simple. Get the center the ball and watch the shots fall. Duren can get players in foul trouble and quick. His rebound prop is set at 8.5. That is pretty juicy as well. Take the over on both.

Hunter Dickinson over 16.5 Points. The risk with playing the big man from Michigan here is does he get the playing time to get to the points? Foul trouble has been a bit of a concern. However, the matchup against six-seed Colorado State is an intriguing one. The Rams are an efficient but slow team. Dickinson is a little faster than he is given credit and keeps up with a more athletic and dynamic Michigan team. That can create easy looks and more baskets along with chances at the line. The boost via Prize Picks knocks this prop down three points. Take the over.

Corey Allen Over 14.5 Points. The risk on this one is great. No one ever quite knows what they will get out of the Georgia State guard. The Senior shoots just 37.2% on the season but some attribute that to a brutal early season streak where he could not buy a bucket. Georgia State will get the minutes and opportunities against Gonzaga. The Bulldogs will score plenty but the guard should have his chances. Also, he is attempting more shots (double digits in six of his last seven). Also, Allen had back to back 29-point efforts coming into the Madness. Take that over one more time! Allen's Fantasy Score is just 26.2 and could be another over that hits Thursday.

Kofi Cockburn Under 38.5 Fantasy Score. The toughest thing here is knowing that Cockburn has a huge advantage against Chattanooga but the Mocs play at a pace that ranks 302nd in the NCAA. If they can truly slow this game down just enough, that will limit Cockburn's ability to rack up a ton of points. They may try to collapse down low at times too. Cockburn is a 65% foul shooter but the year before was just 55%. That could make a difference with a fantasy score that is very close at 38.5. This one is so tough to call but Illinois guard play may decide this one more. Take the under.

Keegan Murray Over 43.5 Points. This is another hard one to gauge. However, Keegan Murray averages more than 23 points a game with double-digit rebound potential. Going against the Richmond Spiders arguably is helpful. Richmond is notorious for keeping games close. They could again here and sometimes Iowa's style of play helps that along too. However, Iowa can get hot and if the guards make a few shots early, this can set up Murray late. The prospective national player of the year can feast on defenses and even make a few three-point shots of his own. He attempts nearly five a game. Murray can block shots and even steal a ball now and then. He fills up too many categories. Take the over here.

Some others to eye up: 

One of the more fun matchups on Thursday centers on Chet Holmgren from Gonzaga. Literally, the pivot can also shoot well from three-point range as well as the interior. The problem was the West Coast Conference tournament showed him a huge lesson. Shots clanged like they had not all year. Does he come out with a vengeance on Thursday? It is quite possible. Take a look at all of his props.

Finally, Adam Flagler of Baylor has a fantasy score of just 22.2 points and draws an easy matchup. He will get to atone for his nightmare of a game against Oklahoma in the Big-12 tournament where he went just 1-for 10 from the field. That is not going to happen again in Round 1. He will be plenty motivated. The over on points and fantasy score are something to eye up.
