Rutgers at Michigan State

January 14, 2024

12:00 PM Eastern

Rutgers has won four of seven leaning on its great defense, second in the Big 10 in points given up (63.7 per game) and field goal shooting allowed (.388%). They're also fourth at defending beyond the arc and third in turnover margin. Rutgers won at Seton Hall (70-63) as a +3.5 dog and comes off a win over Indiana, 66-57. Michigan State limps home from a lousy two-game trip. They lost at Illinois, 71-68, and at Northwestern, 88-74, as a favorite. They're 11th in the 14-team Big 10 from the free-throw line (70%). Michigan State is just 1-4 straight up in conference play with the wagering value on the visitors to win the game. Play Rutgers on the moneyline.
