Towson vs. Clemson: College Basketball Betting Picks & Predictions (Wednesday)
Towson vs. Clemson Spread
Clemson’s two losses this season are by a combined five points to South Carolina and Iowa, and it is a perfect 6-0 at Littlejohn Coliseum. However, Towson has won all four road games this year and has the necessary experience to give a Power Five team all it can handle in a sneaky-good non-conference matchup.
Towson starts five seniors, four of which averaged 9.8 points or better from last year’s 25-win team. Those four (Cameron Holden, Nicolas Timberlake, Charles Thompson, and Jason Gibson) have combined for 52.6 points per game this season. Furthermore, the backcourt duo of Holden and Timberlake each averaged better than 15 points per game thus far, despite neither shooting better than 33.3% from 3-point range. However, the two have stepped up when the team needed them most in their biggest games, as they went a combined 6-for-10 against UMass and 6-for-13 against Ivy League favorite Penn.
DraftKings is currently a half-point or full-point lower on Towson than what you can find at other sportsbooks, so bettors may want to wait to see if a +7 or +7.5 will pop up for better value.
Bet: Towson +6.5 (-105 at DraftKings)
