Rotation # 882
Wisconsin +1.5 over Michigan State (win)
Wisconsin is looking to move up the ladder in the Big Ten and has momentum after its road win at Illinois the other night. Michigan State is well coached by Tom Izzo and has one of the best pure playmakers in the game in Jeremy Fears, but outside of Fears, there isn’t a two-guard that we can truly trust with Divine Ugochukwu now out for the season. The Badgers will lean on Nolan Winter’s outstanding play in the paint; he is an outstanding rebounder and a good shot blocker. Nick Boyd and John Blackwell can connect on their shots from anywhere on the court and share the ball well. Greg Gard has performed well against Izzo the last few seasons and should have his team ready to play at home. Take Wisconsin.
