College Basketball Player Props – Best NCAAB Prop Bets Today, March 18

Total Points: Dontae Horne (PVU) Over 24.5 (-115)

Prairie View guard Dontae Horne looks like one of the strongest scoring props on the board in this First Four matchup against Lehigh.

Horne has been a dominant offensive force, averaging 20.2 points per game on 44.8% shooting, but his recent form is what really stands out. Over the last month, he’s taken his game to another level, scoring 25+ points in 10 of his last 12 games since early February, an elite stretch of production.

The matchup further boosts his outlook. Lehigh allows 74.7 points per game (182nd in the nation), which suggests Horne should find plenty of scoring opportunities, especially attacking the basket and creating his own shots.

Given his current volume, confidence, and matchup, the 24.5-point line is very attainable if he continues his recent trend. I suggest backing the over for your best March Madness player props today.

Total Points: Hank Alvey (LEH) Over 16.5 (-110)

Lehigh forward Hank Alvey is in a strong position to deliver offensively in this First Four matchup against Prairie View.

Alvey comes in averaging 15.0 points per game on an impressive 62.4% shooting, making him one of the more efficient scorers in this game. He does most of his work near the basket, where he consistently gets high-quality looks.

The matchup plays directly in his favor. Prairie View ranks 282nd in the NCAA defensively and tends to prioritize pace over defensive structure, often leaving gaps in transition and in the paint. That style should give Alvey plenty of opportunities to score efficiently.

His recent form is also encouraging, as he’s posted 22+ points in three of his last five games, showing he can exceed his averages when given the right matchup and volume.

With the prop set at 16.5 points, Alvey’s efficiency, recent production, and favorable opponent all point toward a strong chance of clearing the number.
