The Auburn Tigers travel to Baton Rouge to face the LSU Tigers in a game that has several SEC Tournament implications.

LSU Tigers vs. Auburn Tigers: Betting Odds
Auburn guard Wendell Green Jr. is a stat-stuffer for the Tigers. Green leads the team in points, assists, and steals. Green's leadership on both ends of the court is immeasurable.

Auburn forward Jaylin Williams has elevated his game to the point where the Tigers trust him on a nightly basis. Williams averages 11 points and five rebounds per night while shooting 47% from the floor and 42% from deep.
Guard Allen Flanigan flies under the radar, but his nightly contribution of nine points and five rebounds should not go unnoticed.

LSU has not put it all together this season. There are some talented players on this roster, but the team chemistry is lacking. Auburn looks like a team that can make a run, not just in the SEC Tournament, but come March. Take Auburn and give the points.
