2010 Final Four Picks: The Final Four begins today in Indianapolis and SPORTSBETTING.com has made certain that their clients have more than enough opportunities to cash in on the weekend's action. In addition to their game lines, the online bookmaker is also offering 2010 Final Four Picks – Cross Game Props between the two National Semifinal contests. West Virginia's leading scorer, Da'Sean Butler, has been matched up against Butler forward Gordon Hayward, as well as Michigan State guard Durrell Summers, to see which player can score the most points in the Final Four round. Butler is currently listed as a -1.5 favorite to outscore Hayward and a -1 favorite to best Summers.
Da'Sean Butler comes into this weekend having averaged 17.3 points per game in the Mountaineers four Tournament 
victories. Butler scored just nine points in the team's first round game against Morgan State, but he really stepped it up in West Virginia's two closest battles, scoring 28 points against Missouri and 18 points against Kentucky. He figures to have the ball in his hands often against the Blue Devils tough defense, and if the Mountaineers are to advance, they will need a good scoring effort from Butler. Expect the senior to get his fair share today.
Sophomore forward Gordon Hayward is averaging 15.5 points per game on the season and 16 per game in the NCAA Tournament. Scoring could be scarce in Butler's game against Michigan State; the Bulldogs will be counting on Hayward to deliver a performance similar to the one he did against Kansas State in the West Regional Final. The Brownsburg, Indiana native scored 22 points on 7-of-14 field goal shooting while also going a perfect 6-of-6 from the charity stripe in the team's win over the Wildcats.
Michigan State's Durrell Summers is the Spartans third leading scorer at 11.2 points per game, but he has turned things up a notch since Tournament play began, averaging 20 points per game against New Mexico State, Maryland, Northern Iowa, and Tennessee. However, despite Summers scoring increase, he will have his work cut out for him against the Bulldogs' defense. Butler held Kansas State's dynamic guard duo of Jacob Pullen and Denis Clemente to 32 total points on 11-of-30 field goal shooting.
