Maryland at Michigan: Three things to know
- Michigan has been excellent on the blocks and at both ends of the floor. That effort is led by freshman C Hunter Dickinson, who is averaging 16.8 points and 7.7 rebounds per game. Dickinson is shooting a robust 71.3% from the field; however, the 7-foot-1 talent was held to 9 points and 5 rebounds in the team’s first loss of the season Saturday at Minnesota (75-57).
- The Terrapins play a slow-tempo style, so their scoring average (73.7 points per game) doesn’t leap off the page. Maryland can shoot the ball and the Terps rank fourth in the Big Ten in shooting (47.5%) and fifth in the conference from 3-point range (37.3%).
- Maryland and Michigan met Dec. 31 in College Park, and the Wolverines went 24-for-32 (75%) on 2-point attempts in an 84-73 win. The game was mostly a 4-point affair in the opening half, and the Terps were within one by the 11:23-mark of the second. Michigan finished the game strong to pull off the double-digit road win.

Maryland at Michigan: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Michigan 75, Maryland 66
Money line (ML)
PASS, and look for value leveraging the spread.
Against the spread (ATS)
Maryland gets PG Eric Ayala back from injury (groin), and even if the junior’s minutes are somewhat limited, his return is important for the Terrapins.
The play would likely be a stronger lean if Michigan had won its last game, but there is still value on MARYLAND +10.5 (-115).
Over/Under (O/U)
PASS on a well-made total.
