College Basketball Player Props | 3 Picks for Saturday, Including UNC’s Armando Bacot (December 16)

This Saturday is loaded with action across all sports, but the slate that reigns supreme is the one on the hardwood.

We have multiple marquee matchups on tap, and one way to make them better is by cashing some player props.

So, let's dive right into our top college basketball player props for Saturday, December 16.

The Baylor Bears have been one of the top offenses in the country, as they come in ranked second in Adjusted Offensive Efficiency.

The man leading their juggernaut offense has been RayJ Dennis. The Toledo transfer has shown he can stuff the stat sheet, but he's the primary scoring option, averaging 14.2 points per game.

This afternoon, he'll have the opportunity to fill it up against a Michigan State team that's much better defensively on paper than what it's shown on the court.

Yes, the Spartans rank 16th in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency and 27th in effective field goal percentage, but they've allowed every opponent to break 70 this season, and Baylor will be perhaps the best offensive team they've faced thus far.

So, back Dennis to lead the Bears in the tightly-contested matchup.

This play is a diamond in the rough, as not many eyes will be on this matchup between Utah State and San Francisco. However, there's a massive edge to be had in this contest.

Junior forward Great Osobor is the guy to watch out for on this Utah State team. He's proven to be a force on both ends of the floor, but he's also learned to capitalize on the extra attention he's getting on the offensive end.

Osobor has been finding his teammates and racking up dimes on a consistent basis. He's recorded at least two in all 11 games this season and gets to face a San Francisco team that ranks 73rd in assists-to-field-goals-made ratio allowed.

Look for Osobor to extend his streak this afternoon.

Two blue bloods are set to square off as the Kentucky Wildcats take on the North Carolina Tar Heels. While just a basket separates these two teams on the spread, one man can make a big difference in the CBS Sports Classic.

Armando Bacot has been the backbone of the UNC team for years now and has proven that he can be a dominant force in the paint.

Today, he'll have an excellent opportunity to lead the Tar Heels, as the Wildcats don't possess the size to contain him down low.

Bacot has a long track record of going over this number, as he's done so in 58% of his last 74 games. That hit rate gives us implied odds of -138, which is a good value at the current price.
