My picks for Alabama vs. Texas A&M
Brandon Miller “higher” 28.5 points+rebounds+assists. Miller has surpassed this total in both SEC Tournament games thus far and also went over it during Alabama’s loss at Texas A&M in the regular-season finale. He’s playing some of his best basketball of the season at the right time for the Tide. Ride his hot streak while you can.
Wade Taylor “higher” 24.5 points+rebounds+assists. While the Tide have some length and some size, making life difficult for post players and wings, they are susceptible to dynamic scoring guards like Taylor. Taylor went over this total on points alone the last time these 2 teams met, dropping 28 on the Tide in College Station. He’ll need to have another big day if Texas A&M is going to pull off the upset.
Dexter Dennis “lower” 6.5 rebounds. Dennis has gone over this total in 3 of his last 4 games. But with a title on the line, look for Alabama’s bigs to go after every rebound with more intensity. At 6-5, Dennis could find it hard to compete for boards in the post this time around.
How many picks should you make?
The more picks you string together, the higher the “multiplier” or payout. Of course, the more you string together, the less likely you are to win because all of the picks have to hit in order for you to win.
A 3-way parlay of the picks I listed above would pay out $60 on a $10 entry:
If you want to play it safer and only do a 2-way contest, I’d suggest eliminating Dennis’s rebound total and just riding with the 2 superstars. They’ll be key in deciding who wins the SEC Tournament title!
