Three best college basketball prop bets for Mar. 7

#3. Sahvir Wheeler, over 4.5 assists (+105)

Washington Huskies senior guard Sahvir Wheeler should be able to hit the over on his assists tonight, even though he's going against a solid defensive team in Washington State.

Wheeler is tied for 18th in assist average this season with 6.0 assists per game. He has recorded five or more assists in nine of his last 10 games. In Wheeler's first matchup against Washington State this season, he finished with five assists, making another five-plus assist night a clear possibility.

#2. N'Faly Dante, over 8.5 rebounds (-125)

Senior center N'Faly Dante and the Oregon Ducks go up against the Colorado Buffaloes tonight at 9 p.m. ET. Dante is averaging 8.5 rebounds this season, has gotten more playing time, and thus looks more comfortable on the floor since returning from injury in early January.

Dante has grabbed nine or more boards in five of Oregon's last seven games and looks to continue to be a dominant force under the rim tonight. However, Dante will have his work cut out for him, matching up with Colorado's senior center Eddie Lampkin Jr., who averages 10 points and seven rebounds.

#1. Oumar Ballo, over 12.5 points (-125)

Arizona's seven-foot senior Oumar Ballo has been rolling lately, tallying double-digit scoring in 10 consecutive games. Ballo averages 13.1 points this season and recorded 17 points when the Wildcats last faced the Bruins in January.

Ballo has recorded over 12 points in seven of the last nine matchups for the Wildcats, including a five-game stretch of fourteen plus points in the month of February. The Arizona Wildcats are also one of the top-scoring teams in the nation, averaging 90.3 points per game this season.
