Today’s 2023 The Basketball Tournament (TBT) Bets
Here are our top picks for today’s 2023 TBT action.
The Enchantment vs. Bleed Green
Bleed Green and The Enchantment will play in the quarterfinals of their region in The Basketball Tournament bracket. Bleed Green defeated Rise and Grind and In the Lab by double-digits to earn a quarterfinals appearance. Brandon Jefferson has averaged 23.5 points per game, while Jordan Stevens has scored 19.5 points per game. They're not the best rebounding team, but Thomas Bell has averaged ten rebounds a game and is ultimately their best rim protector. On the other hand, The Enchantment just knocked off the Air Raiders, 84-67, in the second round. Sam Bamforth, Evan Gilyard II, Troy Simons, Christian Cunningham, and Johnny McCants have all had a +22 or better for The Enchantment. The Enchantment isn't deep depth-wise, but they have enough talent to get by Bleed Green.
Pick: The Enchantment +1.5 (-115)
Mass Street vs. Heartfire
The Heartfire have escaped in two close games to reach the quarterfinals. They don't have many scoring options offensively and aren't consistent on offense, to begin with. Eric Griffin and Tevin Mack have been the two players that have played well during an extended about of time. On the other hand, Mass Street escaped Show Me Squad with a 69-65 victory. They haven't amazed offensively, either. But Thomas Robinson, Keith Langford, and LaGerald Vick give Mass Street more offensive ability. Let's ride with Mass Street here.
Pick: Mass Street -1.5 (-115)
Team Arkansas vs. Aftershocks
The Aftershocks aren't playing their best basketball. But they're finding a way right now. Caleb Walker has led the team with 11.5 points per game. Markis McDuffie has also added 11 points per game. Those two have been playing at a high level, but the offense isn't incredibly appealing. Meanwhile, Team Arkansas has won multiple games by double figures, including an impressive win over Purple & Black, 63-52. Team Arkansas essentially rolls eight deep but will primarily play just six guys. But no matter who is out on the court, Team Arkansas has consistently led and made plays. I'll back Team Arkansas to knock off the No. 1 seed.
Pick: Team Arkansas +3 (-115)
