Who We Like: Porter Jr. was drawing comparisons to Kevin Durant preseason. He played roughly two minutes for the Tigers before deciding to have surgery on his back and missed the rest of the regular season. With him back, a gritty Mizzou team gets a major talent boost and even if Porter Jr. only plays 20-25 minutes, he will make an impact. He’s too good. The price is right on the Tigers, who should cover the spread against the Bulldogs (1-5 against the spread in their last six games coming off a win).
