Monday’s Best The Basketball Tournament Picks: Fort Wayne Champs vs. Carmen's Crew
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Here are our top picks for today's The Basketball Tournament action.
Fort Wayne Champs (+164) vs. Carmen's Crew (-4.5) | O/U 152.5 (-110/-110)
Carmen's Crew connected on 16-of-38 three-pointers while holding GoTime Green Machine to 7-of-24 from beyond the arc. After a slow first period that saw them down 21-19 at the end, they controlled the game the rest of the way en route to a 78-67 win. The Fort Wayne Champs had an easy time with Locked in Elite, taking them down relatively easily, 103-56. They took a 24-11 lead after the first and never looked back. However, they will not find it nearly as easy to score against a solid defensive team in Carmen's Crew tonight.
Both teams had their good points in round one, but it is hard to judge a team until it plays a competitive game. However, from a betting perspective, I have to go with the more experienced team (and the defending champs). Once they worked out a few kinks, they were good to go. Fort Wayne Champs will have to do that this time since they were not challenged last time.
That will be where Carmen’s Crew has an advantage and wins the game.
Pick: Carmen's Crew -4.5 (-110)
