Indiana vs. Michigan Prediction
Indiana vs. Michigan best bet: Michigan -16 (-105)
THE Michigan Wolverines ranks second nationally in 2-point field goal percentage and averages 93.1 points per game, backed by the nation’s second-best defense.
THE Indiana Hoosiers enter a three-game losing streak, go 0-5 in Quadrant 1 games and continue to struggle on the glass, ranking 13th in the Big Ten in rebounding.
Michigan’s size and depth generate consistent second chances, while Indiana’s high perimeter shooting profile, where 50 percent of its attempts come from downtown, will struggle against Michigan’s elite 36.0 percent defense.

The Wolverines are scoring, rebounding and defending at a much higher level, putting together a convincing Michigan win.
Parlay Indiana vs. Michigan in the same game
Indiana guard Lamar Wilkerson has struggled to score from all three levels recently, and expecting a 20-point night against this Michigan defense is a stretch.
We are adding the Under because the Hoosiers remain too dependent on the three to generate offense. This profile has a low floor against the Wolverines’ stopping unit, making it difficult for Indiana to score enough to push the total over the top.

Lamar Wilkerson Under 19.5
Our SGP beyond the arc: SNIKT!
Morez Johnson Jr. is the Wolverines’ powerhouse, and he has scored more than 14 points in four of his last six games and in three straight Big Ten games at Crisler Arena.

Aday Mara is Michigan’s leading rebounder. I’m expecting a lot of bricks from Indiana tonight, and the Hoosiers are one of the worst rebounding teams in the conference.
