A number of top 10 ranked programs are jumping in on the action for Tuesday night's college basketball slate. Below I've outlined three player props for February 18 featuring Caleb Furst to fail to capitalize on the glass in a tight clash between No. 13 Purdue and No. 14 Michigan State. Then, L.J. Cryer can't be stopped from the perimeter as his three-pointer skills will bury the Arizona State Sun Devils.
caleb furst UNDER 4.5 Rebounds vs Michigan State Spartans (+110)
Preview: Purdue Boilermakers vs Michigan State Spartans, 7:00 p.m. ET
Two comparably ranked programs go head-to-head with No. 14 Michigan State having the defensive edge, sitting 13th in the KenPom ratings, and No. 13 Purdue boasting the better offense, ranked eighth over at KenPom. The Spartans have only allowed more than 80 points once since the end of November.
Averaging 0.6 rebounds per game, Caleb Furst has gone UNDER 4.5 rebounds in five straight appearances against top 25 defenses on the glass. The Spartans are giving up just 30.8 total rebounds, the 16th-best mark in the nation. At plus-money and given the wall Tom Izzo has built in his own zone, Furst will struggle to get his hands on the ball.

l.j. cryer o 2.5 three-pointers vs arizona state sun devils (-125)
Preview: Houston Cougars vs Arizona State Sun Devils, 9:00 p.m. ET
Arizona State doesn't just give up those extra points easily, allowing just 30.7 3PT% (ranked 33rd). Yet, even when up against strong perimeter defenses, Cryer still finds a way to work his magic. In his most recent appearance, Arizona only allowed Houston to go 5-for-17 (29.4%) from beyond the arc, but the senior was responsible for three of those baskets from the distance.
The Texas native has cashed the OVER on 2.5 threes in five straight outings, averaging 3.4 three-pointers per game.
zeke mayo UNDER 21.5 Points + rebounds vs bYU Cougars (-120)
Preview: Kansas Jayhawks vs BYU Cougars, 9:00 p.m. ET
Since the end of January, Kansas has been upkeeping a relentless pattern of wins and losses. Coming off a loss to Utah, I think that pattern breaks tonight--but not for the better. Entering The Marriott Center as 3.5-point 'dogs, the Jayhawks are 1-8 SU (11.1%) in their last 9 games as an underdog.
Zeke Mayo has failed to hit the OVER on 21.5 points and rebounds in eight of his last nine road performances, averaging a 14.9 mark in that span. The Cougars are allowing just 30.7 total rebounds (ranked 14th) and just 69 PPG. Eyeing its third-straight win and eager to strengthen its promising 12-2 record in Provo, BYU can continue to rock an already turbulent month for Kansas.
