2026 Final Four Props with Best Bets, Odds and Predictions
The Final Four for the Men’s College Basketball Tournament is just days away, and with that, it should be noted that there are a ton of ways to bet on these games. Aside from money line, point spread, and total bets, one of the most popular markets is to bet on player props.
Because of that, I have found four player props across the two Final Four games that look to be a worthwhile bet. Two of these player props were taken from the game between Illinois and UConn, while the other two were taken from the game between Michigan and Arizona.
Further, all of these player props were taken using odds from DraftKings Sportsbook.

#3 Illinois Fighting Illini (South Region) vs. #2 UConn Huskies (East Region)
Tarris Reed Jr. to Score 15+ Points (-155)
My first player prop pick for this game between Illinois and UConn will target Tarris Reed Jr., from the UConn Huskies, to score at least 15 points or more. Reed Jr. has by far been the best player for the Huskies throughout the tournament, which is shown by the fact that he is averaging 21.0 points per game.
Reed Jr. has scored at least 15 points in three of UConn’s four games, which include a 31-point game against Furman in the First Round, a 20-point game against Michigan State in the Sweet 16, and a 26-point game in the Elite 8 against Duke.
The only game where Reed Jr. did not score at least 15 points was when he scored 10 points against UCLA in the Second Round. This was a game where UConn won by 16, their biggest margin of victory in the tournament thus far.
Simply put, Reed Jr. has been a major part of UConn’s game plan; therefore, backing Reed Jr. to score 15+ points is my best bet.
Keaton Wagler to have 28+ Points+Rebounds+Assists (-110)
My second favorite player prop for the Illinois and UConn Final Four game will look for Keaton Wagler, from the Illinois Fighting Illini, to combine for 28+ Points+Rebounds+Assists (PRA). Wagler has emerged as the top player for the Fighting Illini throughout the tournament and is averaging 17.5 points per game, 6.5 rebounds per game, and 3.8 assists per game.
He has surpassed 28+ PRA in three of Illinois’ four tournament games, which include 32 PRA in the First Round against Penn, 28 PRA in the Sweet 16 against Houston, and 30 PRA in the Elite 8 against Iowa.
This PRA line looks a little high, but Wagler has showcased that he can do everything for this Illinois team; therefore, backing Wagler to have 28+ Points+Rebounds+Assists will be my play.
#1 Michigan Wolverines (Midwest Region) vs. #1 Arizona Wildcats (West Region)
Yaxel Lendeborg to Score 17+ Points (-130)
My first player prop pick for the Final Four game between Michigan and Arizona will be for Yaxel Lendeborg, from the Michigan Wolverines, to score at least 17 points or more. Lendeborg has been the anchor for Michigan during their NCAA tournament run, and as such, is leading the Wolverines in scoring during the tournament, averaging 21.0 points per game.
Lendeborg had scored at least 17 points in three of Michigan’s four tournament games. This includes 25 points in the Second Round against Saint Louis, 23 points in the Sweet 16 against Alabama, and 27 points in the Elite 8 game against Tennessee.
The only game where Lendeborg failed to score 17 points and double-digits for that matter was in the First Round game against Howard, a 16-seed.
It should also be noted that Lendeborg is shooting 59.2% from the field and 50% from the three-point line. Therefore, given that Lendeborg has been extremely efficient in shooting the ball from the field and has been Michigan’s best player, backing Lendeborg to score 17+ points is my best bet.
Brayden Burries to Make 3+ Threes (+120)
My second player prop pick for the Michigan vs Arizona Final Four game will be for Brayden Burries, from the Arizona Wildcats, to make at least three 3s. Burries is making an average of 3.3 three-pointers on 4.8 three-point attempts. Further, Burries is shooting an incredible 68.4% from the three-point line through four tournament games.
Additionally, Burries has made 3+ three-pointers in three of Arizona’s four tournament games, which include the First Round against Long Island, the Second Round against Utah State, and the Elite 8 against Purdue.
Therefore, given that Burries is shooting extremely well from three-point range, I am all over Burries to make at least 3+ three-pointers.
