College Basketball Player Props – Best NCAAB Prop Bets Today, January 15

Total Points: Graham Ike (ZAGA) Over 17.5 (-135)

Gonzaga forward Graham Ike profiles as a strong college basketball prop bet to go over 17.5 points against Washington State. The Cougars have struggled badly on the defensive end this season, allowing 75.4 points per game, which ranks 190th in the NCAA. That weakness should be especially evident in the paint, where Ike holds a clear physical advantage over Washington State’s undersized frontcourt.

Ike’s strength and post presence make him a tough matchup, and Gonzaga should look to exploit that edge consistently. He’s been in excellent form offensively, scoring at least 24 points in two of his last three starts and coming off a massive 34-point performance against Santa Clara.

While another 30-plus outing may be unlikely, clearing the 20-point mark feels very realistic in this spot. Against a porous Washington State defense, Ike should have no trouble getting quality looks and producing efficiently, making the over 17.5 points a solid play at -135.

Total Points: Eemeli Yalaho (WSU) Over 9.5 (-135)

Washington State forward Eemeli Yalaho is trending in the right direction and looks well-positioned to build on that momentum against Gonzaga. Yalaho enters the matchup averaging 9.7 points per game on an efficient 46.4% shooting from the field, while also knocking down 40.6% of his three-point attempts.

That combination of perimeter touch and inside presence makes him one of the Cougars’ more versatile scoring options. The former Red Raider is coming off back-to-back solid performances, scoring 11 points against Oregon State and 12 points versus Saint Mary’s.

With Washington State likely needing steady offense to keep pace with Gonzaga, Yalaho should see ample opportunities to contribute on the scoring end. Given his recent form and offensive role, backing Yalaho to go over 9.5 points is one of the best college basketball player props tonight.
