Our PRO NCAA basketball player props tool is up and running for the NCAA Tournament. After scanning today’s edges, I won’t sugarcoat it: Thursday’s first-round picks feature more than two dozen grade-A edges.
Thursday’s best predictions across a variety of player prop betting markets are three A+ NCAA Tournament picks — ranging from point total, to rebounds, to assists.
NCAA Projections are one of the various betting tools we utilize in PRO. Our advanced tools make odds every day, compare our number to the line being offered, then tag it with a letter grade like A, B, C, and so on to determine the strength of the pick.
Check out some of Thursday’s best player props and predictions in the NCAA Tournament below straight from our experts, with picks for DQ Cole (Oakland vs. Kentucky), Ben Gregg (Gonzaga vs. McNeese State) and Jaylen Wells (Washington State vs. Drake).
NCAA Basketball Player Props, Picks: Thursday’s Best Predictions
DQ Cole Over/Under 3.5 Rebounds
This isn’t just PRO’s top player prop for Thursday – it’s also the only player prop of the NCAA Tournament with an edge north of 30%.
Tonight’s first of three A+ prediction is Oakland Golden Grizzlies’ DQ Cole over 3.5 rebounds.
Our numbers make Cole’s fair rebound line vs. Kentucky on Thursday more like 6.2! He should shatter this total in a game projected for more than 160 points and a ton of possessions.

Ben Gregg Over/Under 9.5 Points
PRO Projections show value on Gonzaga’s Ben Gregg to fill up the bucket in tonight’s first-round game vs. McNeese State.
The betting market is expecting Gregg to flirt with double-digit points, with a consensus over/under of 9.5.
That’s too short according to our line, which is 12.1 points. It’s an A+ edge stacked up to 9.5 (-105) at FanDuel.
PRO Props Prediction: Ben Gregg Over 9.5 Points
Jaylen Wells Over/Under 1.5 Assists
Jaylen Wells to stay under his assist total is loaded with value in Thursday’s night-cap.
We project Washington State’s forward for just 1.2 assists vs. Drake – his season average. Although it might not appear like a huge edge compared to the 1.5s available around the market — the under pays out +120.
PRO Props Prediction: Jaylen Wells Under 1.5 Assists (+120)
