The Final Four is upon us, with two fantastic matchups on tap for Saturday night. To kick things off, SEC rivals will do battle for the second time this season when Auburn faces Florida. When these schools last met in February, the Gators pulled off a 90-81 victory without Alijah Martin. Now, the guard will get a chance to take down the Tigers in front of a national audience.
Before the start of Saturday’s March Madness action, here is my favorite Alijah Martin Final Four player prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook.

Alijah Martin 2+ assists (-105)
This is a matchup with plenty of shootout potential. Both programs rank inside the top three in adjusted offensive efficiency per KenPom. On a Florida team loaded with talent, Alijah Martin has managed to stand out. The senior, second on the team with 14.5 points per game, is an offensive dynamo. He’s especially dangerous from beyond the arc, knocking down 2.1 three-pointers per game on 35.0% shooting.
Martin is no stranger to big moments. The Florida Atlantic transfer helped carry his old school to a miraculous Final Four berth just two seasons ago. During that run, he put up 15.2 points per game.
The guard is clearly a score-first player, but it’s actually his passing that’s worth a wager on Saturday. Martin has dished out at least two assists in seven of his last ten outings. On the season, he’s reached two dimes in 24 of 36 games played (66.6%). Auburn’s defense is formidable, which explains why this line is so low. Still, an experienced player such as Martin should be able to find his teammates. At such a modest total, it’s difficult to say no to this prop.
