Clemson vs. North Carolina: Over 142.5 total points (-110)
“The Tigers have steadied the ship, it seems, after a four-game losing streak and now face North Carolina with double-bye ACC Tournament implications,” SportsLine expert Chip Patterson said. “With Senior Night festivities coming for Seth Trimble, I’m expecting a high-energy game from the Tar Heels and if recent series history is any indication, Clemson has been willing to speed up its game to match North Carolina’s pace. The five-game sample set between Hubert Davis and Brad Brownell is 3-2 in the Tar Heels’ favor as Clemson has won the last two, but the real key is that four of those five games have gotten to 150 points or more and the average across the set is 149.2 points per game.” Back the Over at DraftKings here:
Spurs (-7.5) vs. 76ers (-105)
The Spurs went undefeated in February, winning all 11 of their games before a 114-89 loss to the Knicks on Sunday. Six of those 11 victories came on the road, as San Antonio enters the final game of a five-game road trip against Eastern Conference teams. Victor Wembanyama continues to showcase his domination and versatility, creating the paint and scoring from beyond the 3-point line, averaging 23.7 points, 11.2 rebounds and 2.9 blocks per game this season. He had 25 points, 13 rebounds and four blocks in the loss to the Knicks. Meanwhile, the 76ers are without Joel Embiid (oblique), and although the 76ers are six games over .500, they are just 16-15 overall and 14-17 against the spread at home this season. The model projects the Spurs to cover in 69% of simulations, one of the highest of Tuesday’s NBA slate. Back the Spurs to cover at DraftKings here:
Nebraska (+1.5) vs. UCLA (-115)
“Nebraska is forecasted to be the No. 3 seed in the NCAA tournament, and UCLA is looking to be a 9th seed in the South,” SportsLine expert Micah Roberts said. “It’s Big Ten basketball in Los Angeles, and Nebraska has been there all weekend, beating USC, 82-67, Saturday as a 4-point favorite, and now they ride a three-game win streak. UCLA comes off a loss at Minnesota, and they’ve lost three of their past five games. Nebraska has been playing college basketball at an elite level and sits tied for second in the Big Ten at 14-4. Overall, Nebraska is 25-4. Nebraska should probably be a 4-point favorite here.” Back Nebraska to cover at DraftKings here:
