Result: Win
#642 ASA TOP PLAY ON Michigan State -135 over Indiana, Tuesday at 9 PM ET - This is a huge home game for MSU coming off their loss @ Michigan over the weekend and with 2 straight road games on deck. We were on Michigan over Sparty on Saturday and picked up a 12 point in what we thought was a great spot to fade MSU. Now we’re in a different scenario getting the Spartans at home off the loss vs an IU team that trailed at home most of the way on Saturday but pulled out a tight win. The Hoosiers were behind at half and most of the 2nd half at home vs a short handed Illinois team on Saturday (Illini were minus their leading scorer) but squeaked by with a 3 point win when the Illini scored 3 points in the final 4 minutes of the game. Now IU is on the road where they are just 4-6 on the season and they have a huge rivalry game with Purdue on deck. The Hoosiers numbers take a huge dip on the road where their average margin this season is -5 PPG. They average just 66 PPG away from home while putting up an average of 81 PPG at home. The Hoosiers are just 2-7-1 ATS on the road this season. Sparty is 10-2 at home this season and a perfect 3-0 when playing at home off a loss. Their defense has been very good all season (27th nationally in efficiency) and they are the #1 team in the Big 10 defending the arc allowing just 27% in conference games. MSU takes it to another level at home on the defensive end allowing just 59 PPG. IU took the first meeting rather easily winning 82-69 at home. The Hoosiers hit 60% of their 3’s in that game and outscored MSU by 15 points from the arc. We don’t see that happening here. Home team 26-10 ATS the last 36 meetings and we like Michigan State to get the win and cover.
