HAWGBEAT'S PICKS (1-4 for basketball)
Each week, HawgBeat will list a few picks that look favorable based on trends and statistics throughout the season.
Anthony Black OVER 4.5 assists (+110)
If this prop were in place for every game this season, it would be 5-11, including 2-4 in the past four games. Black's passing ability has been stellar this season, and with the first game at Bud Walton Arena on tap in over two weeks, the point guard could be in line for a big Wednesday night. At plus odds, this one seems like a no-brainer.
Ricky Council IV OVER 2.5 assists (-145)
HawgBeat selected the same prop ahead of the Bradley game last weekend, and while it did not hit, it is still 5-11 on the season. Notably, it was 3-3 at the Maui Invitational but has not hit since. Again, with the long-awaited return to their true home court, the Razorbacks should be playing with some extra motivation, and it could translate to an uptick in Council's assists.
