Kentucky immediately looks determined to break its two-game skid, especially with hopes of climbing the conference ladder after more than 41 contests this season. Facing a Missouri squad riding a three-game winning groove, the Wildcats will rely on their stalwart forward who’s historically posted strong numbers against the Tigers. Meanwhile, Missouri’s center (C) remains questionable with a lingering ankle concern that could hamper the team’s interior defense, and Kentucky’s guard (G) is day-to-day with a minor wrist issue but expected to suit up. Both sides are eyeing tournament seeding, yet the added motivation on Kentucky’s home floor suggests a strong upset potential for rewarding returns.
Kentucky’s sharpshooting guard has been on a tear despite the Wildcats dropping their last two contests, and his knack for lighting up Missouri has turned plenty of heads. Meanwhile, the Tigers ride into Lexington on a two-game winning streak, fueled by their high-tempo offense that seems set on eclipsing triple digits. Although Kentucky’s starting forward remains sidelined with a lingering wrist injury, their bench production has kept point totals lofty. Missouri’s star big man has feasted against the Wildcats before, routinely putting up huge numbers against a defense that struggles to contain him in the paint. Given the potential for both squads to score in spurts, the Over 170.5 offers a solid payout.
