Best bets for Tuesday, March 3
The Southeastern Conference is well-represented in the Top 25, and several of those teams are in action Tuesday, including No. 5 Florida hosting Mississippi State and No. 16 Alabama visiting Georgia. The Gators (23-6) are 22.5-point favorites and win in 89% of the SportsLine Projection Model’s simulations, but Mississippi State (13-16) covers 68% of the time, good for a “B” grade. The Alabama vs. Georgia contest is expected to be a much closer affair, with the Crimson Tide favored by 1.5 points on the road. Alabama (22-7) has won eight in a row since losing to Florida on Feb. 1, while the Bulldogs (20-9) have lost six of their past nine games but are 13-4 at home this season. The SportsLine model has Georgia winning outright 64% of the time as +104 money-line underdogs and covering the spread at a 68% rate, both good for “B” grades.
The NBA offers up a juicy Eastern Conference showdown Tuesday when the Cleveland Cavaliers host the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons (45-14) continue to rule the East and come in on a three-game win streak. The Cavs (38-24) are fourth in the conference and beat the Brooklyn Nets 106-102 on Sunday, after losing to the Pistons in Detroit last Friday. Now Cleveland is on its home floor and will be out to avenge that 122-119 overtime setback. Donovan Mitchell (groin) remains out, but James Harden flirted with a triple-double Sunday for Cleveland with 22 points, nine rebounds and eight assists. The Pistons are 2.5-point favorites in Pistons vs. Cavaliers, and the SportsLine Projection Model has Cleveland winning in 48% of its simulations.
