Clemson men's basketball looks to continue its success overall and in the series hosting Georgia Tech for a 9 p.m. ACCN broadcast start on Tuesday night in Littlejohn Coliseum.

Clemson (18-4, 10-1 ACC) has won six in a row and 9-of-10 this season, and the Tigers look to complete a regular-season sweep of Georgia Tech (10-12, 4-7) for a seventh win in the last nine versus the Yellow Jackets.

--

Clemson is picked to cover that spread by a point in ESPN's projection, with a 90.9% win chance and 14.3-point projected win.

The Tigers are in second place in the ACC, one game behind league leader and No. 2 Duke, while Georgia Tech is in 13th. The Yellow Jackets have won two of their last three games, however, and lost by three in the middle game of that trio (71-68 at Notre Dame). The Tigers look to avoid looking ahead to hosting No. 2 Duke on Saturday (6 p.m./ESPN).

Clemson won 70-59 in the first matchup in Atlanta on Jan. 14, led by 21 points from Jaeden Zackery, 16 from Ian Schieffelin and 14 from Chase Hunter. All but two points came from Tiger starters in that game (Dillon Hunter scoring those).
