Michigan State’s veteran forward, fresh off two consecutive double-digit outings, hopes to pull off an upset against an Auburn squad that is cruising into this Elite 8 matchup. On the opposing side, Auburn’s standout center has repeatedly dominated the paint when facing the Spartans, hinting that both rosters could contribute to a higher tally than the 147-point line suggests. This pick rates a strong B+ with a potential $150 return on a $100 wager. Odds and availability are subject to change.

Michigan State’s backcourt, featuring Coen Carr and Jaxon Kohler, looks to extend their run in the NCAA tournament, yet they’ll face an Auburn squad that has been pushing past their opponents at every step coming in. Historically, Auburn has been stout at neutral venues, and this positioning might apply extra pressure on a Michigan State roster that’s been susceptible late in tight games. This pick earns a B grade for its decent likelihood of success and a worthwhile payout if Auburn covers the spread. Odds and availability are subject to change.
