HAWGBEAT'S PICKS (9-14 for basketball)
Each week, HawgBeat will list a few picks that look favorable based on trends and statistics throughout the season.
Oscar Tshiebwe OVER 13.5 rebounds (-120)
Tshiebwe is averaging 13.6 boards per game this season, and 14.8 over the last six games. While the Razorbacks are better equipped to slow him down more than they did when he had 18 rebounds in last season's matchup, Tshiebwe should still hit this number.
Arkansas gave up 32 total offensive rebounds to Texas A&M and South Carolina last week, and neither of those teams have a player near the caliber of Tshiebwe. He makes a living grabbing rebounds off the offensive glass, and he should get plenty on Tuesday night.
Davonte Davis OVER 13.5 points (-110)
There is no reason to not take the over on Davonte Davis points when it's listed below 15 right now. He had a seven-game streak of scoring at least 16 points ended when he scored 15 against South Carolina on Saturday, which also hit over 13.5 — the line on BetSaracen prior to the game against the Gamecocks.
The last time Davis didn't score at least 14 points was on Jan. 7 in a loss at Auburn. He is averaging 14.5 points per game in 10 conference games, and that number bumps up to 16.6 if you take his average from the eight total games since that Auburn game.
Bonus Picks
We won't add these to the overall record, but a few bets seem interesting:
~ Ricky Council IV OVER 15.5 points (+100): While Council has slowed things down since the start of SEC play, he's still averaging 16.5 points per game across the Hogs' last six road matchups. He will take enough shots to reach this total, it's just a matter of if they will fall. The plus odds are intriguing here.
~ Arkansas to win and both teams to score 80+ points (+5000): This is highly unlikely to happen, as the Razorbacks have scored more than 80 just twice since the start of SEC play, and they have held opponents to an average of 58.8 points per game over the past five games. Still, it's worth throwing a dollar or two on it and being pleasantly surprised if it hits.
