$2 TUESDAY GAME NIGHT ANALYSIS
I'm laying the points with Kentucky, my KO on Tuesday's slate. It's not often when we have laid a lot of points this season, but we have a team that's laying a little less than it should be in our betting opinion. Kentucky may be without the services of De'Aaron Fox, who is listed as questionable (ankle), however in this particular game, I believe the Wildcat talent will circle the wagons and pick up the slack. Kentucky has three other players averaging between 21.7 ppg & 13 ppg and Malik Monk, Isaiah Briscoe, and Dominique Hawkins should be able to pick up the slack when it comes to creating shots for others. The 'Cats are outstanding at both ends of the floor, while the Volunteers are a little shaky with their own shot and defending opponents at the other end. John Calipari should have his team focused, using a loss last season in Knoxville as added motivation. Kentucky enters on a 9-3 ATS conference run, while the Vols are 1-8 ATS off a conference win over the last two seasons. Tennessee has covered just 12 of their last 37 home lined games. I'm backing Kentucky minus the points, my KO release. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
