The Auburn Tigers and the Michigan Wolverines will meet on Tuesday evening in a regular season contest at the Players Era Festival in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Auburn Tigers Betting Preview

The Auburn Tigers enter Tuesday night’s game with a 5–1 win‑loss record. The Tigers have compiled wins over Bethune‑Cookman, Merrimack, Wofford, Jackson State and Oregon while losing to the Houston Cougars 73-72. In the Auburn Tigers convincing 112–66 win over the Jackson State Tigers last week, forward KeShawn Murphy amassed 19 points, 7 rebounds and 3 steals.

The Tigers are averaging 93.4 points per game (17th in country) on 50.2 percent shooting from the field and 32 percent shooting from behind the arc. On the defensive side of the basketball, the Auburn Tigers have allowed opponents 69.6 points per game on 40.9 percent shooting from the field and 32 percent from three‑point range. Senior forward Keyshawn Hall has played exceptionally well to this point of the 2025 season. More specifically, Hall is averaging 23.3 points, 11 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1 steal and 0.8 blocks per game. Hall has been a presence in the paint for Auburn. Senior forward KeShawn Murphy is averaging 14.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game.  Sophomore guard Tahaad Pettiford has contributed 10.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists per contest 

Defensively, Auburn has shined at times this season. The Tigers have held opponents under 66 points in three of the team’s six games played in 2025.

Michigan Wolverines Betting Preview

The Michigan Wolverines enter Tuesday evening’s contest with a 5–0 win‑loss record. Michigan has posted wins over Oakland, Wake Forest, TCU, Middle Tennessee and San Diego State. In the Michigan Wolverines 86–61 victory over Middle Tennessee six days ago, Michigan forward Yaxel Lendeborg tallied 25 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.

The Wolverines are averaging 90.6 points per game on 50.3 percent shooting from the field, while allowing opponents 68 points per game. Sophomore forward Morez Johnson Jr. is averaging 13.3 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block per game. Junior guard Elliot Cadeau contributes 8.8 points and 5 assists per game, while senior guard Roddy Gayle Jr. adds 10.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2 assists per contest. Center Aday Mara provides interior scoring and rebounding for the Wolverines. Mara is averaging 11.5 points and 10.3 rebounds per game.

Michigan’s identity is built on tempo control and efficiency. Having stated that, the question is clear. Can the Wolverines bring those qualities to the floor in tomorrow’s matchup with the Auburn Tigers? I am not convinced. 

Why the Auburn Tigers will win

•           The Auburn Tigers are scoring nearly over 93 points per game which ranks 17th in the nation.

•            Auburn presents opponents with a balanced attack. The Tigers have multiple players averaging over 10 points a contest.

•            Senior forward Keyshawn Hall is averaging 23.3 points, 11 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1 steal per game.

Why the Michigan Wolverines will win

•            Michigan center Aday Mara has been solid in the paint. Mara is averaging 11.5 points and 10.3 rebounds per game.

•            Quality offensive basketball. The Michigan Wolverines are averaging 90.6 points per game on 50.3 percent shooting from the field.

Auburn Tigers vs. Michigan Wolverines Prediction

This Tuesday night clash in Las Vegas pits Auburn’s high‑octane offense against Michigan’s balanced efficiency. The Tigers want to push tempo and lean on Keyshawn Hall’s dominance inside, while Michigan counters with Aday Mara’s rebounding and Elliot Cadeau’s ability to control pace in the half‑court. Auburn’s scoring depth makes them dangerous, but their defense has shown cracks against elite competition.

Michigan’s shooting efficiency and ability to dictate tempo give them the steadier profile in this matchup. If Auburn turns it into a track meet, Hall and Murphy could keep the game close down the stretch on Tuesday night. In my view, that won’t happen. I am backing the Michigan Wolverines to cover the 3.5 points in this game.

Hans Geevers's Pick: Michigan Wolverines -3.5
