Christian Braun over 12.5 points (-135)
Providence’s best perimeter defenders will likely be guarding Ochai Agbaji and Remy Martin, which could leave Christian Braun with some good scoring opportunities. Braun is Kansas’ 2nd-leading scorer with 14.6 ppg on over 50% shooting from the field. He can score from anywhere on the floor, shooting 55% from inside the arc and almost 40% outside of it. Furthermore, Braun has scored 13 or more points in 3 straight games and in 5 of his last 7.

Tyger Campbell over 1.5 made threes (+125)
Tyger Campbell leads the Bruins in 3-point percentage (41.3%) and is tied for the 2nd-most 3-point attempts on the team. Per Synergy, UNC guard RJ Davis ranks in the 42nd percentile overall defensively and in the 16th percentile in spot-up defense. Davis likely will be defending Campbell for a majority of the game, so expect Campbell to get a handful of quality perimeter shots. As a team, the Tar Heels rank 174th in opposing 3-point rate and 208th in opposing 3-point percentage.

Tyrese Hunter over 1.5 threes made (+110)
Tyrese Hunter’s 3-point percentage is not appealing, as he struggled with his perimeter shooting early in the season. However, he has been much more efficient from the perimeter in the last 6 weeks. Since February 15, Hunter is 16/37 from 3-point range with a 7/11 performance in the Round of 64 of the NCAA Tournament. Miami struggles to defend the perimeter, ranking 237th in opposing 3-point rate and 355th in opposing 3-point percentage.
