Memphis vs. UAB Best Prop Bet

Yexel Landeborg OVER 10.5 Rebounds (-145) via BetMGM

One of the areas where UAB should dominate Memphis is rebounding. Memphis ranks just 150th in the country in rebounding. Now they have to try to defend Yexel Landeborg, one of the best rebounders in college basketball. He's already averaging 10.9 rebounds per game, so he should be in a great spot to reach 11 against the Tigers tonight.

Memphis vs. UAB Prediction and Pick

Memphis is the better shooting team of the two, but UAB's ability to create extra scoring chances could be the difference maker in this conference matchup. Look for the offensive rebounding capability of UAB to play a big role in this game. They rank sixth in the country in offensive rebounding and now they get to take on a Memphis team that ranks 309th in defensive rebounding.

UAB has also been far better when playing on their home court this season. Their average scoring margin improves from 0.0 on the road to +11.3 at home.

I'll back the Blazers to get the win.

Pick: UAB ML (-105) via BetMGM
