Elijah Mahi Points Prediction: Under 13.5 vs Santa Clara Broncos (March 20)
Elijah Mahi's points prop is a solid Under play on tonight's college basketball slate. The Kentucky Wildcats guard faces Santa Clara on March 20, and our model projects Mahi to stay comfortably below his 13.5-point line. Here's why we're backing the Under.
Elijah Mahi Stats & Recent Form
Mahi has been inconsistent this season, averaging 12.1 points over his last five games with a shooting clip that dips below 40% from the field in multiple stretches. The Kentucky guard's role in the Wildcats' offense has fluctuated depending on the opponent and lineup health, but his recent trends show scoring in single digits in three of his past four contests. When Mahi's shot isn't falling early, the Wildcats typically lean on their backcourt depth rather than force-feeding him volume.
Matchup Analysis: Kentucky vs Santa Clara Broncos
Santa Clara's defense ranks in the mid-tier for perimeter scoring allowed, which doesn't present the softest target for a guard looking to explode. More importantly, the Broncos play at a deliberate pace that limits possessions and scoring opportunities for both teams. With Kentucky favored in this contest, the Wildcats may control tempo and rely on their primary offensive weapons, reducing Mahi's offensive load down the stretch.
Our Mahi Points Prop Pick for March 20
We're backing the Under 13.5 points. Mahi's recent scoring trends, Santa Clara's defensive profile, and Kentucky's likely pace advantage all align to keep the guard below this line. Look for the Wildcats to ride their hot hands early and manage the game in the second half, limiting Mahi's volume. This is a solid Under on the college hoops slate.
