The final regional semifinal game in the South region will feature No. 1 Auburn Tigers against No. 5 Michigan Wolverines at 9:39 p.m. ET. The Tigers are coming off a 12-point victory over the Creighton Bluejays, while Michigan beat Texas A&M 91-79 in the second round.

Although Johni Broome hasn’t looked like his usual self lately, he is due for a big performance as he has been a National Player of the Year candidate this season. Here is my favorite prop bet for Broome against Michigan tonight.

Johni Broome 30+ Points & Rebounds (-110)

Broome averaged 18.4 points and 10.7 rebounds per contest this season. Of the 33 games he has played this season, Broome has recorded a double-double in 19. Even though he has scored 14 and eight points in his last two games, the previous time he totaled 15 or fewer points in back-to-back games, Broome bounced back in a big way. Broome scored 34 and 23 points twice after that lull.

If Auburn wants to end the season on a high note and fulfill its potential, it must find a way to keep its best player, Broome, going. In this matchup, Broome will be guarded by Vlad Goldin, a phenomenal big man. You can get Broome to total at least 30 points and rebounds at -110 on DraftKings Sportsbook.

In March Madness, the sport’s biggest stars seem to rise to the occasion and deliver all-time moments. Broome has yet to do so, but he can change that against Michigan. Broome has totaled 30+ points and rebounds in three of the previous five games and eight of his last 15 contests.
