Brady Manek over 16.5 points (-125)

Brady Manek ranks in the 94th percentile per Synergy's offensive metrics and takes the 2nd-highest percentage of shots for the Tar Heels. He will likely draw Jalen Wilson defensively, which seems to be a good matchup for Manek on paper. Wilson is a great glue guy for the Jayhawks, as he rebounds well and takes care of the ball. However, he leaves a little bit to be desired on the defensive end as he ranks in just the 51st percentile per Synergy. Manek should be able to take advantage of this, as he averages 15.2 points per game while shooting 49.3% from the field and makes 40.1% of his 3-point attempts. He has played at least 38 minutes in North Carolina's last 3 games and commits just 2.1 fouls per 40 minutes, so you can count on him being on the floor for a vast majority of this game. He has scored at least 17 points in 6 of North Carolina's last 9 games and will likely have ample opportunity to do it again tonight.
