The freshman standout hopes to help the Jayhawks build on a five-game winning streak tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out my college basketball same-game parlay Kansas vs. Texas Tech picks, featuring a prop bet on JT Toppin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\">Join NorthStar Bets to start betting on NCAA basketball<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kansas vs. Texas Tech picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SGP: Peterson over 2.5 threes | Toppin 20+ points | Kansas +7.5 (+350)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Peterson over 2.5 threes<\/strong> (<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>+110):<\/strong> Peterson played a season-low 20 minutes on Saturday, sitting on the bench in the second half while his team nearly blew a big lead at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was some speculation online that Peterson&#8217;s agent got involved to ensure the prized prospect wasn&#8217;t overworked. But after the game, Kansas coach Bill Self said Peterson was sidelined due to cramping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Believe whatever you want, but just know that Peterson&#8217;s workload could be curtailed again tonight. Then again, he didn&#8217;t appear on the injury report, which is a positive sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\">See player props for No. 14 Kansas vs. No. 11 Texas Tech<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some uncertainty regarding his minutes volume is presumably priced into this prop. Because otherwise, I wouldn&#8217;t expect to see plus-money odds for a guy averaging 2.9 made 3s on 43.2% shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peterson is 9-2 vs. this prop. He&#8217;s also 16-for-34 (47.1%) from deep in five road games, so a hostile environment shouldn&#8217;t be a factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"product_only\"><a href=\"cacheembed:123068\">Embed: #123068<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">College basketball prop pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Toppin 20+ points<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> <strong><strong><strong><strong>(<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>-245):<\/strong> Peterson isn&#8217;t the only NBA-bound hooper being showcased in the Lone Star State tonight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, Toppin has a great chance of being the game&#8217;s highest scorer when the final buzzer sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The talented forward is averaging 22.4 PPG and is 12-8 vs. this scoring milestone (landing on 19 points twice).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In his past five games, Toppin is 5-0 vs. this prop while averaging 27.6 PPG.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\">Build your own college basketball SGPs &amp; bet on tonight&#8217;s action<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 6-foot-9 junior largely operates inside the perimeter, but he&#8217;s found some recent success from 3-point land.
