In the 83-65 loss to the Yellow Jackets on Wednesday, Clemson’s Aamir Simms put up 19 points with five rebounds and three assists. Clyde Trapp added 14 points with seven boards and one assist, and John Newman posted 12 points with four rebounds and two assists.

Over on the Florida State side, they began with four straight wins versus North Florida, Indiana, Florida and Georgia Tech. After splitting their next pair of games, the Seminoles fell to Clemson then beat NC State, North Carolina and Louisville in the next trio of outings.

In Monday’s 78-65 win over Louisville, Florida State’s Raiquan Gray led the team 17 points with eight rebounds and two assists. Wyatt Wilkes provided 12 points with three boards in 16 minutes, while MJ Walker put up 10 assists, five boards and two points for the Seminoles.

The Seminoles are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 home games and 11-5 ATS in their last 16 overall. The over is 4-0 in Florida State’s last four overall and 14-3 in their last 17 Saturday games.

Meanwhile, the Tigers are 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games and 0-3-1 ATS in their last four games overall. Clemson is 12-5 ATS in their last 17 Saturday games and the over is 5-0 in their last five overall.

PICK: I’m going to take a shot on Florida State here. The Seminoles have been playing well in their last three, with 78 or more points in each. The last time these teams met Clemson pulled off a 77-67 win, but Florida State shot a decent 41.9 percent from the field and had a five-point halftime lead. I like the Seminoles to put together a better outing here and bang out a cover. Should be a great game to watch.

Clemson at Florida State: Three things to know

Pace-wise, Clemson is one of the slower teams in the nation, averaging just 66.2 possessions per contest. The Tigers head into this game ranked second in the ACC in defense (62.0 points per game) and 15th in offense (66.5). A low free-throw rate greatly affects the Clemson output on offense. The Tigers’ 13.3-attempts average ranks 14th in the conference. CU has lost two straight heading into Saturday; the Tigers were outscored, 53-9, in free-throw points over those losses.The Tigers have also been undone by three-balls in recent games (31 total allowed in last two games). And the distance game figures to be a strength for the Seminoles, a team leading the conference in 3-point shooting at 38.6%.Florida State has won five straight home games against Clemson. The last Tiger victory at FSU was a 62-56 win Feb. 4, 2015. In five games since, the Seminoles are 4-1 ATS. FSU has covered by an average of six points the last two years.

Clemson at Florida State: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Florida State 71, Clemson 62

Money line (ML)

Clemson is a fine defensive team, but Florida State is more talented and versatile at both ends. The tag here figures to be right on the implied odds, so there isn’t enough value. PASS, unless you can get a price closer to +325 on FSU.

Against the spread (ATS)

The home team is 5-1 over the last six series meetings. A bit of value can be leaned on the ‘Noles here. The potential for 1s and 3s to drag this game into 10-point territory is there, so take FLORIDA STATE -6.5 (-110).

Over/Under (O/U)

Both teams tote in several Over trends, but too many factors like FSU 3-point shooting and CU put-backs have to be hitting on all cylinders to have this one play out near 140-range. Peg a slight lean on the UNDER 136.5 (-110).
