College Basketball Player Props – Best NCAAB Prop Bets Today, February 27

Total Points: Aday Mara (MUCH) Over 9.5 (-135)

Wolverines’ center Aday Mara stands out as one of the stronger college basketball player prop options in this Big Ten showdown between Michigan and Illinois. The Wolverines have increasingly incorporated Mara into their offensive flow, and his efficiency continues to make him a reliable scoring presence.

Mara is averaging 11.1 points per game while shooting an outstanding 66.7% from the field. His ability to finish at a high rate around the rim gives him a consistent pathway to double-digit production without needing heavy volume.

He enters this matchup with 10 or more points in three straight games and in six of his last 10 appearances. Even in one of the games where he fell short of double digits, he scored nine points, just one bucket away from clearing this number. That type of consistency around the threshold is encouraging for bettors looking at a modest total.

Aday Mara is trending towards the lottery conversation with his play for Dusty May and Michigan. The 7’3, 20-yo’s showing vs Ohio State was some of the best tape we’ve seen from him at the college level: 24 points, 6 boards, 3 assists, 2 threes, 2 blocks. pic.twitter.com/vnX10erIv5

With the line set at 9.5 points and Mara’s role continuing to expand, the over presents strong value. Given his efficiency and steady involvement in the offense, over 9.5 points is a sharp angle for this ranked Big Ten matchup.

Total Points: Andrej Stojakovic (ILL) Over 10.5 (-130)

Illinois’ guard Andrej Stojakovic shapes up as one of the more appealing college basketball prop options in this matchup against Michigan. With his scoring versatility and recent form, the over deserves strong consideration.

Stojakovic enters this contest averaging 13.8 points per game while shooting an efficient 49.6% from the field. He has the ability to score at all three levels, knocking down perimeter shots, creating off the dribble, and finishing inside, which makes him a difficult player to scheme against.

His recent stretch has been particularly encouraging. Stojakovic has scored 17 or more points in three of his last four games, showing that he’s capable of heating up quickly and clearing modest totals with room to spare.

With the prop set at 10.5 points, the number sits well below both his season average and recent production trend. In what should be a competitive, high-energy matchup against the Wolverines, over 10.5 points stands out as a strong college basketball prop bet to consider.
