Indiana at Maryland picks and predictions
Prediction
Maryland 69, Indiana 63
Moneyline
PASS.
Maryland has lost 2 straight at home, so it isn’t a strong play as a heavy favorite. However, given the size of the spread, it offers more value for the road team than the moneyline.
Against the spread
BET INDIANA +8.5 (-110).
The Hoosiers are coming off a home win over the Badgers and beat the Terrapins by 12 earlier in the season. They also have 2 players averaging over 15 points per game and shooting over 57% from the field, so the efficiency and recent play both bode well for Indiana.
Maryland has struggled lately, losing 3 of its last 4 and 6 of its last 8. The Terrapins are 3-5 ATS over their last 8 games. Their leading scorer, Young, is shooting just 40.2% from the field. While Indiana may not win, its scoring efficient should help it cover.
Take INDIANA +8.5 (-110).

Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 135.5 (-110).
The Terrapins have gone Under in 2 straight games, scoring fewer than 65 in both. They are 10-19 O/U on the season as well. Indiana has scored between 70 and 74 in 4 straight games, but its defense has slacked which is why its games have consistently gone Over.
The Hoosiers have allowed 75 points or more in 4 of their last 5. Maryland may not have the same offensive firepower as many of those teams. The 1st game went far Under the total, 118 points scored with a 135.5 total.
Expect a similar battle and take UNDER 135.5 (-110).
