Missouri Tigers DFS Spin

DeAndre Gholston finished Saturday's 82-77 win over Ole Miss with 15 points (7-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and four assists in 32 minutes. The 6-foot-5 guard notched his third straight double-double this season and did so shooting 53.8 percent from the field in Saturday's win over Ole Miss. The senior is averaging 10.5 points this season, but looks to keep impressing as Missouri starts their conference tournament Friday.

Alabama Crimson Tide DFS Spin

Dominick Welch (back) is dealing with a bruised tailbone, Charlie Potter of 247Sports.com reports. Welch bruised his tailbone in Friday's 72-49 win over Mississippi State. He finished with three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3PT) in seven minutes on the floor. It does not appear as though the injury will hold Welch out of any games, though he is still considered a game time decision.

Missouri vs. Alabama CBB Prediction:

The Crimson Tide are just 1-4 against the spread in their last five games overall, are 2-5-1 against the number in their last eight neutral site games and have failed to cover in five of their last five games when coming off a win. On the other side, the Tigers are a perfect 5-0 against the spread in their last five neutral site games and are coming off an impressive upset of Tennessee, 79-71, as a 5.5-point underdog on Friday. I expect Mizzou to give ‘Bama a game today.
