Why NC State can cover
North Carolina State has been on a roll of late, and had a three-game winning streak snapped on Saturday in a 64-58 loss at Georgia Tech. The Wolfpack, who are 4-3 in January, have won nine of 13 games. The Wolfpack are looking for their third straight winning season and 14th since 2000-01.
Senior guard C.J. Bryce leads the Wolfpack in scoring at 13.9 points per game and is averaging 6.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists. Bryce, who was held scoreless at Georgia Tech and who fouled out after playing 26 minutes, will look to rebound against the Tar Heels. In two career games against North Carolina, Bryce is averaging 14 points per game. He has scored in double figures in seven of nine.
Why North Carolina can cover
Even so, the Wolfpack aren't a lock to cover the North Carolina vs. NC State spread. Though this season has been derailed by injuries, the Tar Heels are getting close to the return of Cole Anthony, who has missed over a month of action after having surgery for a torn meniscus in his right knee on Dec. 17. His status for Monday's hasn't been confirmed, but there's at least a chance he takes the floor. If he doesn't play, look for junior forward Garrison Brooks to continue to pick up the slack. He is averaging 15.1 points and has scored in double figures in each of the last 10 games, including 28 at Virginia Tech on Wednesday.
How to make North Carolina vs. NC State picks
SportsLine's model is leaning under on the total as the simulations says Brooks will be held to more than two points under his average, while North Carolina State's Markell Johnson is expected to score eight less points than his 21-point performance on Saturday against Georgia Tech. It has also generated an against-the-spread pick that cashes in over 60 percent of simulations. You can only get the pick at SportsLine.
