UNC vs. Georgia Tech Prediction, Odds and Key Players to Watch for Saturday, Jan. 31

The UNC Tar Heels bounced back from a two-game losing streak by stringing together two straight wins, and now they have a great chance to extend that streak to three games on Saturday when they're a significant road favorite against Georgia Tech.

The Yellow Jackets have lost two straight games and are desperate to find some level of momentum in the ACC.

UNC vs. Georgia Tech Key Player to Watch

Caleb Wilson, F - UNC Tar Heels

Caleb Wilson has been dominant this season, averaging 19.9 points and 10.1 rebounds per game. He's also leading UNC in steals per game at 1.6 and blocks per game at 1.4. He dominates the interior whenever UNC takes the court, so Georgia Tech will have to find an answer for him on Saturday afternoon.

UNC vs. Georgia Tech Prediction and Pick

Caleb Wilson is a nightmare for Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets rarely shoot the three-ball, keeping the majority of their offense to the interior. If they want to do that against UNC, that means they need to have an answer for Wilson, who has continuously dominated the interior in every game for the Tar Heels this season. UNC ranks fifth in the country in opponent two-point field goal percentage, keeping teams to shooting just 43.8% from down low.

Even with the stylistic advantage of UNC off to the side, the Tar Heels are generally the better shooting team, ranking 42nd in effective field goal percentage, while Georgia Tech ranks 209th.

I'll lay the points with UNC on Saturday.
