Virginia vs. Syracuse Odds & Betting Predictions - January 31, 2023

@AnthonyDabbundo Alum Pick

At DK: Clark has cleared this in all six of his games against Syracuse aside from his freshman year when he played just 18 minutes. Syracuse allows the highest assist rate in the nation because of their zone D, and Clark has taken advantage posting assist numbers of 11, 8, 6, 9, 9, and 7 against the Cuse. Not only do the Orange allow a high assist rate, but they are terrible on the defensive glass leading to more 2nd chance opportunities for UVA. Plus Syracuse fouls at a low rate and don't force a ton of turnovers, leading to more overall field goal attempts for UVA. I'm projecting Clark closer to 7 assists with a 70% chance to clear this number, meaning I'd take this to about -175. Also showing value at over 6.5 at +108 at FanDuel if you don't want to lay the juice.
