The Sweet 16 continues today with four teams still trying to get into the the Elite Eight. I believe today there will be some very good games today with some very competitive teams still left in the tournament. Down below, I will show which player props I will be targeting today.
Gonzaga vs. Purdue Prediction
Gonzaga is playing some of the best offensive basketball in the country right now. Purdue will be taking on their biggest test in months, and the last time they met, Purdue put their clamps on not just Watson, but the entire Gonzaga team. However, Gonzaga is the most improved team in the country, and is shooting 55% from the field in the past month or so, thanks in part to Anton Watson. Gonzaga will need their shooters to work to challenge Purdue, and I like Watson's ability to get space in the interior with Ike on Edey for some good looks.

Duke vs. Houston Prediction
This just feels like a really bad matchup for Mitchell. Houston has one of the best interior defenses in the country, and Mitchell isn't a super dangerous perimeter playmaker. If Duke is to hang with Houston today, it'll likely be some hero shooting from McCain and Proctor.

Creighton vs. Tennessee Prediction
Creighton shoots the 3-ball at a ridiculous rate. Tennessee plays some great interior defense too, so I don't imagine Creighton will change their strategy much here. And Tennessee has been vulnerable to the 3-ball this year at times. Ashworth and Scheierman are the perimeter guys in this offense, and Ashworth is priced better, so I like taking the shot on him today instead.

NC State vs. Marquette Prediction
I like this spot for Kam Jones versus a pretty weak shooting defense. This is a high line, but Jones is averaging 9 three-point attempts per game in the last few weeks. His shooting volume is high, and he should have plenty of looks to have a big game today.
