Our CBB Public Betting Information page indicates that 60% of public bettors are currently backing N.C. State when it comes to the spread. This information is subject to change throughout the day, however, so be sure to check the link so you’re receiving the most up-to-date public betting data.
North Carolina Tar Heels DFS Spin
Armando Bacot supplied 12 points (5-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-6 FT), four rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 33 minutes before fouling out of Monday’s 80-72 loss to Miami (FL). Bacot missed just one of his six shots from the field and looked efficient, but he also recorded solid numbers in other categories. Bacot has been dominant this season that he has eight double-doubles in 12 contests since the beginning of January.
N.C. State Wolfpack DFS Spin
Jack Clark recorded 15 points (7-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist and two steals in 31 minutes during Tuesday’s 75-72 loss to Syracuse. Clark came off the bench in what was his second game back since returning from a hip injury, but he saw a starter’s workload, compared to just four minutes for starting power forward Greg Gantt. Given this level of activity and production, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Clark back in the starting five in short order. He did start the first 15 games of the season for the Wolfpack, averaging 9.1 points and 7.3 rebounds across 28.3 minutes during that stretch.
