Best College Basketball Bets for Tuesday: Georgia vs. Kentucky

Kentucky’s upset of Tennessee this weekend could be a season-defining win, not just that it is a huge resume builder for a Wildcats team that lacked big wins, but what the team learned about themselves in the process. Kentucky was without Daimion Collins (foot) and Sahvir Wheeler (shoulder) and overcame a scoreless 21 minutes from Cason Wallace, as he had left the game periodically to deal with an injury. However, playing Oscar Tshiebwe, Jacob Toppin, CJ Fredrick, and Antonio Reeves all 30+ minutes may have been a blessing in disguise for the Wildcats, who found a renowned defensive identity and held the Volunteers to 3-for-21 shooting from deep.

We expect John Calipari to use similar rotations and build off what worked well against Tennessee. However, the Wildcats offense still has a much lower ceiling as long as Wheeler remains out, and they are coming off committing 19 turnovers in the last game.

The Under has cashed in five of Kentucky’s last seven games against teams with a winning record, and we expect it to cash again tonight.

Bet: Georgia-Kentucky Under 136 (-110 at DraftKings)
