Indiana vs Illinois prediction
Indiana vs Illinois best bet: Indiana +10.5 (-116)
Illinois has lost two straight games and is clearly not at full strength, with injuries to both Kylan Boswell and Andrej Stojakovic weighing on the Illini. Both are listed as questionable for today’s game and could be limited even if they return.
The depleted Fighting Illini will have to contend with Indiana, which has won five of its last six — a stretch that includes two outright wins as an underdog.
The Hoosiers are healthy and surging, and that makes them the pick to cover getting double digits today.

Indiana vs Illinois same-game parlay
I’m taking Lamar Wilkerson to hit his scoring Over after going for 24+ points in each of his last four games, and I’m also picking him to hit Over 2.5 threes — a mark he’s hit in four of his last six outings.
Indiana vs Illinois SGP

Lamar Wilkerson Over 22.5 points
-
Lamar Wilkerson Over 2.5 threes
Our beyond the arc SGP: Deep shot
The Hoosiers average 10.4 3-pointers made per game, while Illinois allows 8.5 made shots per contest.
That has me looking for a barrage from deep for the Hoosiers in my lottery SGP, with Wilkerson, Dorn, and DeVries all capable of hitting at least three shots from beyond the arc — especially since all three have done so at least twice in their last five games.
