Indiana vs Maryland Prediction & Pick

This one is pretty close to a pick 'em game with Indiana as a 1.5-point favorite. I expect this to be a battle, but ultimately Indiana's Trayce Jackson-Davis helps the Hoosiers pull out the win.

Jackson-Davis has been on fire of late, scoring 26 and 27 points in his last two games, respectively. He leads the Hoosiers in points, rebounds and assists per game, so Indiana is counting on a big performance from him. He only had 18 points against Maryland the last time out, but I expect him to flip the script here and get somewhat of a revenge game going.

Prediction: Indiana 75 | Maryland 71

Indiana vs Maryland Best Bet

The spread for this game is only 1.5 points, so the halftime spread is just the moneyline. Indiana averages about 4 points more in the first half than Maryland does and only about 4.5 points more overall, so clearly Indiana's advantage comes in the first half based on season averages. Take the Hoosiers to win the first half and go into the break with a lead.

Bet: Indiana First Half Moneyline (-128)
