(685) Texas Tech at (686) Duke
8:00pm EST - Dec 20/2025

THE PLAY: Duke -8.5 (-109)

Duke is an excellent team this season, and they hold a substantial defensive edge in this matchup tonight.  The Blue Devils will also have the crowd support for this neutral court game at Madison Square Garden in New York City.  Texas Tech has struggled when stepping up in class versus quality teams this season, including a 30-point blowout loss (56-86) on a neutral court versus Purdue last month.  That game is a good indicator and predictor for tonight as Purdue and Duke are both tall, big teams with similar characteristics.

(689) Xavier at (690) Georgetown
8:30pm EST - Dec 20/2025

THE PLAY: Georgetown -4.5 (-109)

Xavier hits the road off a blowout home loss to Creighton, and they don’t get a break with another terrible matchup against Georgetown.  The Musketeers want to play up-tempo basketball, but they won’t get their preferred pace of play here.  The Hoyas like to play slow, and if they control the tempo in this game, they’ll walk away with a comfortable win.  Xavier is just 1-3 SU this season when held to less than 70 points.  Georgetown has already held 5 opponents to 70 points or less this season.  Lay the points with the home favorite in this game on Saturday night.
