The Big Monday college hoops slate is actually pretty decent. We've got an ACC showdown at the KFC Yum! Center between NC State and No. 24 Louisville, the Hoosiers host the Ducks in some Big Ten action in Bloomington, and of course, a top 10 Big 12 battle at Allen Fieldhouse. There's tons more on the slate, but let's dive into the player prop market in some of these matchups and find our favorite picks.

Best NCAA Basketball Player Props February 9
NC State vs. #24 Louisville NCAA Basketball Player Props
Isaac McKneely shoot overs 41% from deep at home
Best Bet: Isaac McKneely Over 2.5 Threes (-112) Lucky Rebel Sportsbook
If you want my play on the side and total in this game, check out my full article here. However, let me sell you on a player prop that I'll likely be laddering. Isaac McKneely is a sniper for the Cardinals who spent the last three years at Virginia with a career three point percentage above 40%. All he does is shoot threes, and he's very comfortable at doing so.
McKneely takes over 84% of his shots from beyond the arc, but he hits them at a 39.6% clip this year. Plus, that number shoots up to 41.8% at the KFC Yum! Center, where he averages over eight three point attempts per game. He has started every single game for Louisville, plays nearly 30 minutes, and makes good use of his time on the court. McKneely has cleared this number in three straight games and 14/23 this season, with at least five three point attempts in 20/23 games as well.
With Mikel Brown Jr. and Ryan Conwell on the court, NC State's perimeter defense will have a lot to handle, and they already struggle to defend the three. The Wolfpack are bottom 30 in opponent 3P% in 11 games away from home, and are also bottom 20 in opponent 3P Rate. Because of this matchup and the pace of this game, I expect McKneely to have at least 8-10 attempts from beyond the arc, and I'll be taking his over 3.5 threes at +240 as well.

Tre White does it all for the Jayhawks, and he should step up tonight against the top ranked Wildcats
Best Bet: Tre White Over 20.5 Points and Rebounds (-105) Lucky Rebel Sportsbook
Someone is going to need to step up for the Jayhawks in this game. Darryn Peterson is going to be guarded by Jaden Bradley, one of the best on ball defenders in the country. Flory Bidunga will have his work cutout for him by battling Koa Peat, and naturally the next man up for the Wildcats to guard would be Melvin Council who has scored double digit points in 12 of his last 13 contests.
Enter Tre White. A guy who earns his time on the floor by being a phenomenal defender who isn't afraid to do the dirty work. White has gone three straight with at least six rebounds, and five straight with double digit points. However, he has had at least 10 rebounds five separate times this year, and ended with 9 twice. Like Council, he has had double digit points in 20/23 this year, clearing 21 points and rebounds in 13 contests as well. White also leads the Jayhawks in free throw attempts by far, taking over 40 more than the next man up, averaging about five free throw attempts per game.
Sure, we might be asking for a little more production than normal, but against the top team in the country, the whole team will have to lean on each other, and I think Tre White is more than up for the challenge.
