🔥 Koby Brea 3+ made 3-pointers ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Despite Tennessee’s impeccable 3-point defense, Kentucky has managed a 50% shooting clip from behind the arc against the Volunteers on two occasions this season. In both wins over Tennessee, the Wildcats have managed an identical line of 12-for-24 from 3-point range.
Koby Brea has been the catalyst in that department while knocking down three triples in each game, going 6-for-9 from deep between the two contests. Brea has made a trio of 3-pointers in both of Kentucky's NCAA Tournament games during this run to the Sweet 16, and we’ll look for him to do it again on Friday.
The -136 odds at FanDuel are more favorable than the prices at DraftKings (-160) or BetMGM (-155).
📊 Best odds: -136 via FanDuel ($10 to win $7.35)

🔥 Amari Williams Over 7.5 rebounds ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Amari Williams leads Kentucky with 73 offensive rebounds this season, and that’s an area in which he might be able to exploit Tennessee. The Vols rank 201st in the nation in defensive rebounding rate.
It’s been a split effort on the glass for Amari Williams in the two games against Tennessee this year. He was held to just three rebounds in one of the contests but imposed his will with 15 boards in the other game.
In the down game for Williams, foul trouble limited him to 21 minutes. Considering he’s also logged a double-digit rebounding total in both NCAA Tournament games thus far, we like Williams to scoop up the boards against the Vols, provided he avoids serious foul trouble.
📊 Best odds: -140 via BetMGM ($10 to win $7.14)

🔥 Zakai Zeigler 8+ assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Kentucky allows a middling 12.8 assists per game to its opponents this season, ranking 139th in the country in that category. That number has risen to 14.3 assists across the team's last three outings.
Tennessee shares the ball tremendously in the half-court offense, with Zakai Zeigler’s 7.4 assists per game sparking the team. Though Zeigler has mustered just six assists in both games against Kentucky this season, he’s tallied eight-plus assists in 17 out of 35 games (48.6%). That makes the +120 odds on this prop at FanDuel a favorable play relative to the implied probability of 45.45%.
📊 Best odds: +120 via FanDuel ($10 to win $12)
