The Virginia Cavaliers are 2-5 ATS in the team’s last 7 games played. The game total has gone over in 4 of the last 6 games the Virginia Cavaliers have played. Virginia is 7-3 SU in their last 10 games played. Clemson is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games played. Clemson is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games at home.

The Clemson Tigers are a team that loves to shoot the basketball from behind the three point line. Having stated that, the Tigers are currently trending in a positive direction when it comes to three point shooting. In Clemson's last three games played, the Tigers are shooting 41.38 percent from behind the three point line. I think the Tigers continue to shoot the basketball well on Tuesday night and win this game. Additionally, I am backing the Tigers to cover the 5 points. I should also note that Clemson defeated the Cavaliers 67-50 earlier in the season.
