Clemson vs. UNC Prediction, Odds for College Basketball on Tuesday, March 3

The No. 17 UNC Tar Heels close out their home schedule against the Clemson Tigers on Tuesday night.

UNC has won three games in a row since an upset loss at NC State, while Clemson is coming off an upset win over Louisville after four straight losses – three of which the Tigers were favored in.

UNC is looking for revenge after losing to Clemson in each of the last two seasons.

Let’s take a look at the odds, players to watch and my prediction for this ACC matchup.

Clemson vs. UNC Key Players to Watch

Henri Veesaar, Center, UNC Tar Heels

Caleb Wilson remains out for UNC, so all eyes are on big man Henri Veesaar. The 7-foot center is coming off one of this best games of the season, scoring 26 points on 11 of 20 shooting (2 of 7 from deep) to go along with 7 rebounds.

The junior is now averaging 16.7 points per game, and his 8.4 rebounds per game rank 57th in the nation. Even more impressive is his 61% shooting from the field, which is the 20th-best in the country.

Clemson vs. UNC Prediction and Pick

UNC looks to close out its home schedule undefeated, and very well may do so against a Clemson team that is 6-4 on the road. However, the Tigers won’t go down easily.

Clemson is 4-0 against the spread as the underdog this season, including 3-0 on the road. Meanwhile, UNC is 11-11 ATS as the favorite, and just 1-2 when favored between -1.5 and -5.5.

I’ll take Clemson and the points here, although something like UNC to win by 1-5 (+350) could be worth a sprinkle as well.

Pick: Clemson +3.5 (-105)
