Grand Canyon vs. Arizona State picks and predictions
Prediction
Arizona State 79, Grand Canyon 75
Moneyline
ARIZONA STATE (+168) is a solid play as a moderate underdog in this neutral-site battle in Phoenix.
The Sun Devils looked awfully tough against the Zags, and freshman F Jayden Quaintance is a budding star on the rise, especially at the defensive end. He had 13 boards against Santa Clara on Nov. 8, and he has posted 2 or more blocked shots in all 3 games, including 10 in the first 2 contests.

Against the spread
If you’re not sure about ARIZONA STATE +5.5 (-120) straight up, it is a good play to keep it within 3 buckets at least.
The Sun Devils have played well in 2 games against the top-tier programs of the West Coast Conference, and it won’t be fazed against Grand Canyon -5.5 (-105). It’s a rather curious line from the books. Take advantage.
Over/Under
OVER 149.5 (-110) is a strong play in this Hall of Fame series game.
The Over has cashed in the past 2 games for ASU, going for 80.5 PPG on offense, while allowing 81.0 PPG.
For Grand Canyon, the Antelopes are filling up the basket to the tune of 81.5 PPG in 2 outings, while allowing 75.5 PPG. This might not be a track meet, but it certainly won’t be a defensive slog, either.
