Top 3 UCLA vs Indiana Betting Tips
1. Bet UCLA Moneyline (-130), ATS -2 (-110)
The Bruins have become a much better team and a much better bet online since mid-January – a few games after coach Mick Cronin called out his players’ effort following a 19-point loss to Michigan on Jan. 7.
UCLA lost the first two after Cronin’s intense press conference, but won seven straight after that to climb back into a stronger position for March Madness. The Bruins are 4-0-1 ATS in their past five games.
Leading scorer Tyler Bilodeau (14.3 points) is averaging 16 over the past four games while Cronin is getting more production from Sebastian Mack (12.5 last two), Kobe Johnson (14.5 last two) and Skyy Clark (12.3 last three), among others.
Tyler Bilodeau in loss to Illinois:
– 25 Points
– 3 Rebounds
– 1 Assists
– 2 Steals
– 7/12 3FG
– 52.9 FGFinally looking healthy after the ankle injury great sign for UCLA in the loss pic.twitter.com/LK9ukLpny4

UCLA will need better shooting from second-leading scorer Eric Dailey Jr. (11.7) on Friday. Dailey shoots 52 percent from the field, but is 7 of 21 the last three games.
We think UCLA is just the better bet because of their consistency the last month.

2. Bet Over 140 Points (-110)
The Bruins have topped their scoring average (75.6) in four of their last five games while Indiana should be revved up after a tremendous effort at Michigan State.
The Hoosiers held Michigan State to 38.2 percent shooting (4 of 23 from 3-point range) while getting double-doubles from Oumar Ballo and Malik Reneau. Ballo leads a balanced offense (13.7) and Reneau averaged 17.5 the last two games – almost five above his season mark.

Mackenzie Mgbako (13 ppg) has also upped his production the last six games (16.3) and Luke Goode (8.7) the last eight (12.1) for the Hoosiers.
You can expect Indiana to use the emotion of the crowd to score, but we think UCLA will match it on the offensive end. Add the over to your NCAA basketball parlay bet.

3. Bet UCLA’s Dailey, Andrews
Dailey is only a few weeks from his 21-point performance against Oregon and the sophomore put up 23 in the first of UCLA’s seven-game winning streak versus Iowa.
We think the 6-8 swingman will get back to work and have a strong game at Indiana in a Bruins victory. Point guard Dylan Andrews might set him up for some of his baskets and could also be a good player prop for assists.
The Bruins stay hot 🔥

If you want to add an Indiana player to a college basketball prop parlay, think about Mackenzie Mgbako. The sophomore forward scored at least 15 points in five straight games before posting seven versus Michigan State, but made some key free throws late.
