Top Player Props for Monday Night’s College Basketball Slate | CBB Best Bets Tonight

With a loaded week of college hoops tipping off, the spotlight hits immediately on Monday with multiple Top 25 clashes and NBA-caliber talent sharing the floor. Conference races are tightening, rotations are shortening, and the stars are being asked to carry more of the load. That’s where the value lies.

As the matchups heat up and the margins get thinner, we’re zeroing in on the numbers that matter most. Let’s break down the top college basketball prop picks to target and start the week in the green.

Cameron Boozer UNDER 22.5 Points (-105) vs. Syracuse

Cameron Boozer has been the focal point of the offense for Duke up to this point of the season, averaging 22.8 points per contest, on an extremely efficient 57.5% shooting and 38.8% from beyond the arc.

The freshman sensation is relied on both early in matchups and down the stretch, but his unselfish play often puts him in position to make his impact on the stat sheet in more columns than scoring.

Boozer has finished with fewer than 20 points in each of his last two matchups and three of his last four.

In what many expect to be a blowout against the Orange, the big man may not be asked to carry the workload, especially if this one gets out of hand early.

Milos Uzan OVER 9.5 Points (-125) vs. Iowa State

Milos Uzan is averaging 11.2 points per game on the season, entering this matchup, while shooting an inefficient 38.3% from the field. Despite that, the senior is a main part of the Cougars’ offense, and even with his shooting struggles, his confidence to continue shooting will allow him to be in a position to exceed 9.5 points once again in this matchup.

Uzan has gone over 9.5 points in four of his last six games, and with a big matchup against the Cyclones backcourt on Monday, expect the Nevada native to come ready to play.

In his last meeting against Iowa State, the Cougars’ guard finished with 19 points, putting together one of his best shooting nights in a Houston jersey, knocking down 70% of his attempts from the floor.

The third-ranked Houston Cougars hit the road for a top-five showdown against the No. 5 Iowa State Cyclones in what could be one of the best battles of the year. Looking at the comparisons between the two teams, not much separates the two contenders on their road to this major Big 12 matchup. In this defensive chess match, the Cougars will need to rely on their experienced guard to help knock off their conference rival.
