The Gonzaga Bulldogs may be warming up for a strong second half of the season and should be a good bet as a favorite in the NCAA basketball odds to win at Oregon State on Thursday.

The 16th-ranked Bulldogs have won five in a row – the last four by double digits – and are fourth in the nation in scoring offense (87.8). Gonzaga may not be great for ATS bettors (7-11), but points are not a problem.

Oregon State started 10-2 but has gone 3-3 since. However, the Beavers are dangerous at home (10-1). Before making your online bet, you must decide whether Oregon State can find its game in comfortable surroundings.

Top 3 Gonzaga vs Oregon State Betting Tips

1. Parlay Bulldogs, Battle Prop Bets

Gonzaga coach Mark Few told reporters recently that the WCC is tougher this season and that will make the Bulldogs better when tournament time comes around.

The Zags led by just three at halftime against Washington State last time out before pulling away for an 88-75 win. They shot 55.7 percent from the floor and drained 10-of-21 from 3-point range.

Leading scorer Graham Ike (16.6 ppg) is averaging 21 points and 11 rebounds the last three games and Khalif Battle has scored at least 20 in three of his last five games. Battle has scored at least 20 in the last three road games and is your best game player prop.

Ryan Nembhard stirs the drink for Gonzaga, leading the nation with 9.4 assists per contest. Fellow guard Nolan Hickman (10 ppg) stepped up with a season-high 19 points against Washington State.

Gonzaga is rolling. Bet the Bulldogs on the moneyline to start an NCAAB parlay and use Battle to score at least 15 points (+134) in a win.

Parlay Pick: Khalif Battle 15+ Points and Gonzaga to Win (+134)

 

2. Oregon State (+9½) ATS

Oregon State opened as a 9 ½-point underdog at home and, on the Beavers’ best nights, that could be good enough to cash your NCAAB picks.

The question is, will you get the Oregon State team that lost to 9-8 Loyola Marymount by 21 or the one that put up 91 points last time out to beat Pacific? This will be an important test.

Per Gonzaga vs Oregon State stats, Michael Rataj leads the Beavers with 16.6 points per game and he is one rebound from three straight double-doubles. Parsa Fallah (12.3 ppg) has scored 49 in his last two games white shooting 70 percent from the field over the past three.

If those two continue their strong play and Nate Kingz follows up his 20-point effort against Pacific with another strong game, Oregon State can beat the college basketball spread. The Beavers are 12-5 ATS.

Bet Oregon State +9 ½ (-110)

 

3. Bet Gonzaga vs Oregon Under 151

The teams average 165 points between them and that is plenty for over bettors to cash out on this WCC showdown.

We think the importance of the game will keep the score down a little bit. Oregon State only gives up 63.2 points per contest. The key will be rebounding. Gonzaga is in the top 30 in the nation and the Beavers are near the bottom, per NCAAB betting trends.

You can’t expect the Bulldogs to shoot 55.7 like they did against Washington. Oregon State shot 56.5 percent against Pacific. Both coaches will stress defense.

The over is 20-15 in their games this season. Those numbers are not big enough to make it a safe bet for NCAAB predictions.
