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.
