Tonight at 8:30 p.m. ET, the No. 1 team in the country, the Duke Blue Devils, will play the No. 13 Louisville Cardinals in the ACC Tournament Championship. Duke’s best player, Cooper Flagg, was injured in their game against Georgia Tech on Thursday. With Flagg’s absence, Kon Knueppel has stepped up.
Here is my favorite prop bet for Kon Knueppel against Louisville in the ACC Championship.
Kon Knueppel 18+ points (-130)
Knueppel finished with 28 points against Georgia Tech after Flagg had to leave the contest. Once again, Flagg is out and won’t play against Louisville, which means Knueppel will take the reigns as the Blue Devils’ No. 1 option. Although Knueppel has only hit this scoring mark twice in his previous six games, with an increased workload, it is great value. You can get Knueppel to score 18-plus points at -130 on DraftKings Sportsbook.
In Duke’s first matchup against Louisville this season, Knueppel finished with 12 points but only shot 2-9 on three-pointers. Knueppel has hit this scoring total in three of four contests in which he has attempted at least 14 field goals. In their game against North Carolina, Knueppel and Tyrese Proctor each had 11 field goals. Louisville has allowed at least 18 points to an opposing player in three of their last four games.
