Kentucky has won five of its last six games and the only loss was by two points at Alabama. The Wildcats come off a 56-47 win against Vanderbilt while shooting 50.0 percent and holding the Commodores to 36.2 percent from the field. The Wildcats won despite hitting only 4-of-16 from three-point range and Ashton Hagans and Keldon Johnson scored 15 points apiece for Kentucky. Georgia got off to a good start this season, but now the Bulldogs have hit some tougher competition in SEC play. They lost at Auburn 93-78 on Saturday, and that was after a 46-point loss at Tennessee on Jan. 5 before they managed a win over Vanderbilt. Kentucky is shooting 49.1 percent this season and 34.6 percent from three-point range, which figures to improve tonight compared to the Vandy game. Kentucky has covered four straight after allowing fewer than 50 points in its previous game. Go with Kentucky for the win and cover.
