Total Assists: Mark Sears (ALA) Over 3.5 (-135)

There is a big ranked matchup on the college hardwood tonight, and we want to take advantage of the Illinois vs. Alabama props ! The No. 25 ranked Illinois Fighting Illini are in Tuscaloosa for a Wednesday night matchup against the No. 8 Alabama Crimson Tide.

With the over/under set at 167.5 points, this is expected to be a high-scoring contest between the Fighting Illini and Crimson Tide. I’ve identified one prop bet offering a plethora of betting value on Mark Sears’ assists.

Sears’ total is much too low at 3.5 assists in what should be an up and down the floor showdown. There will be ample opportunities for him to dish out more than three assists against Illinois at home. I wouldn’t be surprised if Sears reaches five or six assists!

The 6’1” senior guard enters with 3.5 assists per game through four games. He started slow in the first two games, but Sears found his form against Purdue and McNeese State. The guard posted five assists against McNeese State, and then handed out six assists in a big matchup versus the Boilermakers.

In 2023, Sears recorded an average of four assists per game amid a deep run to the Final Four. He should be closer to that mark after tonight’s festivities in Tuscaloosa against the Fighting Illinois.
