Today’s 2024 The Basketball Tournament (TBT) Picks: Carmen’s Crew vs. Takeover BC
Here are our top picks for today’s 2024 TBT action.
Carmen’s Crew vs. Takeover BC
Carmen’s Crew will enter this game riding high after taking down the defending champs, Heartfire, last week. Kalen Wesson led the way with 18 points, followed by Jared Sullinger with 12 and Desonta Bradford with 11. Offensively, they are a solid team, averaging 79.3 ppg. But the team’s strength has been its defense (62.7 ppg allowed; third best in TBT). That defense will get tested against Takeover BC, the third-best offense in TBT, averaging 89 ppg. The win over Heartfire may give Carmen’s Crew an edge over Takeover BC; they’ll enter the game more battle-tested than TBC. However, while we think CC will win, it is hard to confidently say they’ll cover the spread. But we are confident both teams will score enough for the final to go OVER the total.
Pick: OVER 150.5 (-110)
