Top 3 UCLA vs Washington Betting Tips Jan 24
1. Bet UCLA ML (-215) and ATS (-5)
The big takeaway from the two important and potential season-changing wins over Iowa and Wisconsin for the Bruins was improved depth.
Four players averaging under 10 points per game scored in double figures in the two wins and the Bruins got 41 points off the bench against Wisconsin. Skyy Clark had 12 points in each game while 7-3 Aday Mara scored a career-best 22 versus Wisconsin.

With the top three scorers all taking turns coming up big as well, it makes UCLA a better college basketball pick going forward. Tyler Bilodeau is scoring 14.6 per game (17.0 last two) while Eric Dailey Jr. (11.8) had 23 versus Iowa and Sebastian Mack (10.4) posted 19 against Wisconsin.
The Bruins have lost three straight on the road but should be a solid bet on the moneyline (-215) and ATS -5 in Seattle.
Bet on UCLA ML (-215) or ATS -5 (-115)
2. UCLA vs Washington Over 138
The two teams average 148.5 points between them for the season. They combined for 127 in the first matchup at Pauley Pavillion.
What gives? Both teams should let it all hang out in their second meeting after opening the Big Ten season against one another. UCLA might tighten up after a scoring bonanza against Wisconsin, but we expect it to go the other way.
Wisconsin’s 83 points were the most UCLA had given up in a win in regulation under coach Mick Cronin during his six seasons in Westwood.

Washington has scored over 70 points in four of its first eight Big Ten contests and under 60 in three. Where the Huskies go at home on Friday is a difficult college basketball prediction. But they have enough talent to stay in it.
Great Osobor leads Washington at 15.3 points and 8.6 rebounds per game and has upped those numbers in the last three outings while scoring 71 and grabbing 28 rebounds total. Tyler Harris and Zoom Diallo also combined for 33 points versus Oregon.
Expect enough scoring to make over bettors happy.
Bet on UCLA vs Washington Over 138
3. Sebastian Mack to Score 13+ Points
Sophomore guard Sebastian Mack has put up good numbers in three of his last five games and might be the best NCAA basketball player prop bet today.
Mack had 17 points against nationally-ranked Michigan on Jan. 7, poured in 16 at Rutgers six days later and was 6-for-12 from the field against Wisconsin while draining 7-of-8 from the free-throw line on Tuesday.
Sebastian Mack took over in the second half of UCLA’s win over Wisconsin, scoring 15 2H points. https://t.co/PC7T38cwYH

In the first meeting against Washington, Mack came off the bench to match Bilodeau with a team-high 16 points.
Take Mack to score 13+ points (+144), or be more aggressive and expect 15+ (+218).
Bet on Sebastian Mack 13+ Points (+144)
