Both teams are aiming for the title and UConn&rsquo;s Dan Hurley is trying to win his third in four seasons. Dusty May is going for his first and would be Michigan&rsquo;s first title (not named the NIT) since 1989. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&rsquo;ll be backing some of the best daily fantasy choices tonight in my Wolverines vs Huskies expert picks, while honing in on choices for the Captain and more. Read below for all the reasons why those selections stand out, plus we some updated news on players that might surprise one way or the other.<\/p><div class=\"\" data-freestar-ad=\"__300x250 __300x250\" id=\"sportsbettingdime_InContent_1\">\n        <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\n            freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({\n                placementName: \"sportsbettingdime_InContent_1\",\n                slotId: \"sportsbettingdime_InContent_1\"\n            });\n        <\/script>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-dfs-top-prices-for-michigan-vs-uconn\">DFS Top Prices for Michigan vs UConn<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"overflow-x-scroll no-scrollbar\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Player<\/th><th>DraftKings<\/th><th>FanDuel<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Tarris Reed Jr. (UConn)<\/td><td>$15,600<\/td><td>$12,600<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Yaxel Lendeborg (Michigan)<\/td><td>$15,000<\/td><td>$13,400<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Aday Mara (Michigan)<\/td><td>$13,800<\/td><td>$11,800<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Elliott Cadeau (Michigan)<\/td><td>$12,900<\/td><td>$10,400<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Morez Johnson Jr. (Michigan)<\/td><td>$11,400<\/td><td>$7,800<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Alex Karaban (UConn)<\/td><td>$11,100<\/td><td>$8,600<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Silas Demary Jr. (UConn)<\/td><td>$9,300<\/td><td>$9,200<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Braylin Mullins (UConn)<\/td><td>$8,100<\/td><td>$6,200<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>This game expects to be a fun contrast in styles with many trying to angle on a little less offense in this tilt.

DraftKings features their &ldquo;Captain&rdquo; who can net 1.5 times the points. So does FanDuel. However, FanDuel&rsquo;s &ldquo;MVP&rdquo; costs the player 1.5 times the salary. Now, DraftKings has a $50,000 cap and FanDuel rolls in with $60,000. Point categories are mostly the same with differing values. The wrinkle with DraftKings is they offer a 1.5 point bonus for a double-double and three points for a triple-double.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FanDuel counters with a hire priority on three pointers made at 1.5 with field goals made and free throws made counting accordingly. It kind of all adds up here but one gets 0.05 points less for rebounds on FanDuel. Again, turnovers are more costly on FanDuel as well (1 point vs 0.5 points to the negative). Keep these things in mind when constructing your roster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The schools of thought here are interesting when it comes to the final game. Going for the most points potential is the most obvious. Your captain\/MVP needs to be the one that takes best advantage of that multiplier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fades-for-tonight-s-big-game\">Fades For Tonight&rsquo;s Big Game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Yaxel Lendeborg (Michigan) <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Forward has been a force but there is one problem. He got banged up against Arizona after a solid start. After playing only 14 minutes, he sprained his knee but the ligaments are good. Again, he will not be 100% but will play. There is a slight ankle issue as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solomon Ball (UConn)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ball was not listed on the initial availability report. The Guard was a cheaper option and did manage double digits in points in each of his last three contests. It will be interesting to see what happens with Ball. <\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"bet-bonus-509791\" class=\"not-prose bet-shortcodes bet-bonus \"><ul class=\"bonus-list\"><li><div class=\"column bonus-logo\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/go\/prizepicks\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/cgen-partner-prizepicks-icon-300x300-1-150x150.png\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"column bonus-text\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/go\/prizepicks\/\">PRIZEPICKS<\/a><p>ENTER $5, GET $50 IN LINEUPS<\/p><\/div><div class=\"column bonus-button\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/go\/prizepicks\/\">CLAIM OFFER<\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div class=\"column bonus-logo\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/go\/sleeper-picks\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/cgen-partner-sleeper-fantasy-icon.svg\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"column bonus-text\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/go\/sleeper-picks\/\">SLEEPER FANTASY SPORTS<\/a><p>$20 NO-DEPOSIT BONUS & 100% DEPOSIT MATCH<\/p><\/div><div class=\"column bonus-button\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/go\/sleeper-picks\/\">CLAIM OFFER<\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div class=\"column bonus-logo\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/go\/boom-dfs\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/cgen-partner-boomfantasy-icon-300x300-1-150x150.png\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"column bonus-text\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/go\/boom-dfs\/\">BOOM FANTASY<\/a><p>$100 RISK-FREE TOKEN<\/p><\/div><div class=\"column bonus-button\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/go\/boom-dfs\/\">CLAIM OFFER<\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div class=\"column bonus-logo\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/go\/draftkings-dfs\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/cgen-partner-draftkings-fantasy-dfs-icon-150x150.png\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"column bonus-text\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/go\/draftkings-dfs\/\">DRAFTKINGS FANTASY<\/a><p>GET 3 TICKETS TO PLAY FREE FOR A SHARE OF MILLIONS!<\/p><\/div><div class=\"column bonus-button\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/go\/draftkings-dfs\/\">CLAIM OFFER<\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div class=\"column bonus-logo\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/go\/underdog-evg\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/cgen-partner-underdog-icon.svg\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"column bonus-text\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/go\/underdog-evg\/\">UNDERDOG FANTASY<\/a><p>PLAY $5 FANTASY ENTRIES, GET $50 IN BONUS FANTASY ENTRIES W\/ CODE <span style=\"color: #a5914a;\">SBD<\/span>!<\/p><\/div><div class=\"column bonus-button\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/go\/underdog-evg\/\">CLAIM OFFER<\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div class=\"column bonus-logo\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/go\/betr-picks\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/cgen-partner-betr-icon-1.svg\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"column bonus-text\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/go\/betr-picks\/\">BETR PICKS<\/a><p>UP TO $200 BACK IN BONUSES + FREE PICK!<\/p><\/div><div class=\"column bonus-button\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/go\/betr-picks\/\">CLAIM OFFER<\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div class=\"column bonus-logo\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/go\/chalkboard-dfs\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/cgen-partner-chalkboard-icon.svg\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"column bonus-text\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/go\/chalkboard-dfs\/\">CHALKBOARD FANTASY SPORTS<\/a><p>GET A FREE PICK + DEPOSIT MATCH UP TO $100!<\/p><\/div><div class=\"column bonus-button\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/go\/chalkboard-dfs\/\">CLAIM OFFER<\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div class=\"column bonus-logo\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/go\/dabble-fantasy\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/cgen-partner-dabble-icon.svg\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"column bonus-text\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/go\/dabble-fantasy\/\">DABBLE FANTASY<\/a><p>GET $10 WHEN YOU SIGN UP -

Cadeau set up shop and Mara delivered to the tune off 26 points. Again, Lendeborg could prove to be a valuable decoy in the grand scheme of things against UConn. UConn only yields 65.8 points per game but they are susceptible to teams who can change pace via transition. Mara is one of those players who can stretch and test defenses. Mara is capable of a double-double for bonus points much like Cadeau who is the distributor. Cadeau&rsquo;s defense is overlooked along with Mara&rsquo;s as both can pick up extra DFS points via blocks or steals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Silas Demary Jr. (UConn)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, this is a big risk compared to Karaben and Reed Jr. especially but saving money is what leads us here. Demary Jr. fills the stat sheet and if he drains a few shots, he can get to double digits in points. Everything else is just extra as far as steals, rebounds, and assists. If you wonder who is our Michigan equivalent, I have Trey McKenney who can light it up if he stays out of foul trouble. The risk with McKenny is the lack of peripherals but again if he can make a few threes, look out! MCKenney, by the way, is a mere $4,600 on FanDuel&hellip;a true money saver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good luck tonight!<\/p><div class=\"\" data-freestar-ad=\"__300x250 __300x250\" id=\"sportsbettingdime_InContent_2\">\n        <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\n            freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({\n                placementName: \"sportsbettingdime_InContent_2\",\n                slotId: \"sportsbettingdime_InContent_2\"\n            });\n        <\/script>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\">\n\n\n\n<div id=\"newsletter-form\" class=\"wp-block-group mb-6 border border-base-200 p-8 is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8904fbb8 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70)\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized mt-0 mb-4\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"40\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportsbettingdime.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/01\/sbd-newsletter-logo.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-658480\" style=\"width:220px\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"font-display-bold mt-2 mb-2 has-3-xl-font-size\"><strong>Sign Up for SBD&rsquo;s Newsletter Now<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you want the latest sports betting news, analysis, picks, betting trends, and relevant data straight to your inbox?
