Maryland has been one of the best over bets in the nation this season, going 18-9 O/U (66.7% over rate). But Michigan State has been an equally good under bet, going 9-18 O/U in their first 27 games.

The Spartans enter Wednesday on a three-game win streak, which includes true-road victories over Illinois (79-65) and arch-rival Michigan (75-62) last time out.

Jase Richardson had a team-high 21 points in the win while Tre Holloman added 18 off the bench.

Not to be outdone, the Terps have won four in a row, which includes three at home over Rutgers (90-81), Iowa (101-75), and USC (88-71) last time out on Thursday.

Rodney Rice had a game-high 22 in the win over the Trojans and all five starters finished in double-figures.

Crucially for the top-heavy Terrapins, who only go six-deep, they have had nearly a week off since the win over USC, when all five starters played at least 33 minutes.

The MSU vs Maryland player props features four Terps (and no Spartans) with a point total between 14.5 and 15.5, led by Ja’Kobi Gillespie (14.9 PPG, 2.7 RPG, 4.8 APG) at 15.5 O/U. A pair of Terps – Julian Reese (14.0 PPG, 9.3 RPG, 1.3 APG) and Derik Queen (15.9 PPG, 9.1 RPG, 2.1 APG) – also have the two-highest rebound totals at 9.5 and 8.5, respectively.

Jace Richardson (13.0 PPG, 3.6 RPG, 1.5 APG) and Jaden Akins (10.8 PPG, 2.7 RPG, 1.8 APG) have the highest point totals on the MSU sideline at 13.5 and 12.5.

Michigan State vs Maryland Predictions

This is going to be an exceptionally tough trip to College Park for the Spartans, who are playing their second straight game on the road and have had one fewer day of rest that Maryland.

The Terrapins 13-game home win streak includes convincing wins over seventh-rated Wisconsin (76-68) and 27th-rated UCLA (79-61). In other words, they’ve faced teams on par with, or better than, MSU at home already, and had no trouble seeing them off. MSU has some impressive road wins on its resume already, especially the 79-65 rout of Illinois and 75-62 demolition of the Wolverines. But they’ve also dropped recent road tilts against USC and UCLA.

Heading to College Park isn’t as far as the west-coast trip that tripped up the Spartans, but it’s certainly a longer and more difficult trip than Champaign, IL, or Ann Arbor, MI.

MSU vs MD picks:

• Maryland moneyline (-178) at FanDuel
• Rice over 14.5 points (-110)
