College Basketball Best Bets: 2 Picks For Tuesday's Games

Duke vs Wake Forest Prediction

Duke vs Wake Forest odds

Duke is a team who has looked really good pretty much the entire season and has a legit shot at a National Title, but I don't think this is the best spot for them and do not foresee a blowout here.

Wake Forest is an elite offensive team who has actually played very well on the road this year and I do not think they will be rattled by the tough environment. Wake Forest is led by Oklahoma Transfer, Alondes Williams, who is averaging 20/7/5 on 53% shooting from the field and 33% from deep.

Those are exceptional numbers for a volume shooter, and I think he will have a big game tonight. Wake Forest also has the size in the frontcourt to bang with Duke as Wake has four players of at least six-foot-eight who all contribute significant minutes in LaRavia, Walton, Mucius, and Sy.

LaRavia is more of a scoring threat as he is averaging 15/7/4 on 58% from the field. Walton is their main rim protector inside as the 7-foot big man is averaging nearly 2 blocks per game and will be tasked with handling Mark Williams and Theo John tonight. I think Wake Forest will get off to a fast start here as they have started games very well this season. With that being said, one of my favorite picks for this evening is going to be Wake Forest 1H +6 -117.

Indiana vs Wisconsin Prediction

Indiana vs Wisconsin odds

This is a very intriguing Big 10 game as Indiana is one of the tougher environments to play. Indiana also has the revenge factor here as Wisconsin defeated them earlier in the season by a score of 64-59.

Indiana has struggled in their past 3 games as they have gone 0-3 but I think this is the perfect combination of a revenge and bounce-back spot. Indiana has played their best ball at home this year as they are 13-2 at home and have only trailed at halftime a single time where they were down by a point to Marshall in a game in late November.

Wisconsin has played well on the road this season but most of their road games have come against bottom-tier big 10 teams which include Maryland, Northwestern, and Nebraska. They struggled on the road vs Illinois and Ohio St and I think Indiana's suffocating defense will cause problems for Johnny Davis and the Badgers. With that being said, one of my favorite picks for tonight is going to be Indiana 1H ML at -135 as I think the Hoosiers get off to a good start here at home.
