Against the spread

The Panthers are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight-up win, and in this series, the road team is 5-2 ATS — though 5-2 straight-up (SU) — in the last 7 games.

The Raiders won this tournament last season, and coach Scott Nagy has had teams make the NCAA Tournament 5 times.

Milwaukee has been trending downward over recent weeks. Overall, it is a team too far out over its skis with analytics not matching won-loss record.

TAKE WRIGHT STATE -1.5 (-120).

Over/Under

This is a fast-versus-fast matchup, but neither side is overly aggressive on 3s or foul-drawing drives through the lane. In other areas, efficiency is good enough on one side to bring in enough probability for a final tally in the 140s.

TAKE THE UNDER 157.5 (-105).

Horizon League Tournament: Green Bay at Wright State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Green Bay at Wright State odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Green Bay Phoenix (3-28, 2-18 Horizon) and Wright State Raiders (17-14, 10-10) meet Tuesday at Nutter Center in Dayton, Ohio in the first round of the Horizon Tournament. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Green Bay vs. Wright State game odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

The Phoenix are 3-11 against the spread (ATS) in their last 14 games.

The Raiders earned a 77-46 home win against the Phoenix in the most recent meeting on Jan. 28, covering as 17-point favorites as the Under (146.5) cashed. Wright State also blasted Green Bay 99-67 in Wisconsin on Jan. 12 as a 10-point favorite.

Wright State at Oakland odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Wright State at Oakland odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Wright State Raiders (16-13, 9-9 Horizon) visit the Oakland Golden Grizzlies (12-17, 10-8) on Thursday night. The Horizon League contest at Athletics Center O’rena will tip off at 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Wright State vs. Oakland odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Wright State went 5-1 from Jan. 26-Feb. 10, but has dropped 2 straight games since. An up-tempo Raiders team was undone by 17 turnovers (and a minus-7 margin) in its last game, a 77-75 loss at Purdue-Fort Wayne Sunday.

The Grizzlies have been undone by a defense that ranks 336th in the nation, giving up 76.4 points per game. Oakland coughed up 96 in a 22-point home loss Friday to Detroit Mercy. The Grizzlies did, however, have a 5-game win streak from Dec. 29-Jan. 12. That stretch included a 75-73 win over the Raiders on Jan. 8 as 5.5-point road underdogs while the 151.5 Under hit.

Wright State at Oakland picks and predictions

Prediction

Oakland 76, Wright State 72

Moneyline

Not available.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

A perhaps road-weary Wright Stte has logged effective field-goal marks over 52% in 7 of their last 9 games. The Raiders figure as being due some regression in that regard.

Oakland does well in keeping opponents off the foul line. The Grizzlies have been trending the right way in recent weeks, playing teams tough when they do lose and playing well in some wins as well.

BACK OAKLAND +1.5 (-105) on a partial-unit play.

Over/Under

When these 2 met last month, the Golden Grizzlies prevailed in a game that landed on the Under, and those are the slight leans for Thursday.

Under is 5-1 in Oakland’s last 6 games against winning teams. And its 5-1 in the last 6 series meetings.

Figure on a lot of 2-point baskets and some regression on the Wright State side. TAKE THE UNDER 153 (-105).

Wright State at Cleveland State picks and predictions

Prediction

Wright State 76, Cleveland State 74

Moneyline

BET WRIGHT STATE (+105).

This is a spot the Raiders have thrived in. They are 7-3 ATS as the road team, and considering this is virtually a pick ’em, that should matter. They are 4-1 straight up in their last 4 road matches.

Cleveland State is just 1-2 ATS in its last 3 home games as well. Both teams are 9-7 ATS in conference play. The Vikings are just 5-6 ATS at home this season as well.

Given the Raiders’ strong road play, back WRIGHT STATE (+105).

Against the spread

PASS.

I’d rather take the plus-money odds, especially considering Wright State doesn’t have a single 1-point loss on the season.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 148.5 (-105).

Wright State has gone Over in 4 straight games and has scored 80 or more in all 4. They have scored at least 75 points in their last 10 straight games. The Vikings have gone Over in 6 of their last 7 and have scored 75 or more in 5 of their last 7 games.

Both offenses have been electric as of late, so take the OVER 148.5 (-105).

Moneyline

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

BET NORTHERN KENTUCKY +2.5 (-110).

The Norse are 3-4 straight up on the road this season, and they blew out Wright State the 1st time these 2 met.

The Raiders are the 3rd-worst team at home in the Horizon League, posting just a 7-6 straight-up record.

This should be a close battle, and the Norse’s ability to neutralize the Raiders’ efficient attack (4th in the nation at 50% in FG percentage) should allow them to prevail. Wright State shot just 43% from the field in the 1st matchup.

The Norse allow just 63.4 points per game, which is the 32nd-fewest in the NCAA. They are also 2-1 straight up and ATS in their last 3 road games. Back NORTHERN KENTUCKY +2.5 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 137.5 (-105).

Wright State has gone Over in 3 straight games and in 6 of its last 7. It has scored at least 80 points in 3 straight and in 4 of its last 5 as well. Its offense should improve to its average against NKU as well. The Norse have gone Under in 6 of their last 7, but have topped 65 in 4 of their last 5.

Wright State at Youngstown State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Wright State at Youngstown State odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Wright State Raiders (13-10, 6-6 Horizon) will look to knock out the Youngstown State Penguins (17-6, 9-3) in Youngstown Thursday at 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Wright State vs. Youngstown State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

After beating Detroit Mercy 73-63 as 8.5-point favorites on Sunday, the Youngstown State Penguins will look for its 3rd straight home conference victory here. Wright State is also looking for its 3rd straight win after drilling Green Bay 77-46 as 16.5-point favorites on Saturday.

With Wright State averaging 80.0 points per game and Youngstown State averaging 83.7 points, a shootout could be in store, especially with both defenses being terrible. Youngstown State allows 72.7 PPG (270th) and Wright State is worse allowing 73.3 PPG (286th).

There will not be many opportunities for rebounds in this game as the Raiders come in ranked 4th in the nation averaging 50.1% field goals and the Penguins rank 7th at 49.6% from the field.

This will be an up and down game with both teams scoring buckets in droves. In the 1st meeting on Dec. 4, Youngstown (+2.5) won 88-77 as the 153.5 Over cashed.

Wright State at Youngstown State picks and predictions

Prediction

Youngstown State 77, Wright State 74

Moneyline

PASS.

Both of these teams can score and neither can play defense, so nothing would be surprising in the final score. But Youngstown State is the better team and the more likely victor. However -240 is too much to risk, so unless you are making a parlay, stay away from the number.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

WRIGHT STATE +5.5 (-115) is the side to take here.

Wright State, despite being on the road, will be able to put up enough points to stay close. The Penguins, despite being the 6th-ranked offense in the nation, have failed to meet its average point total in its last 3 games. The 5.5 points is therefore too much of a cushion between these high scoring teams and I will take the underdog Wright State to cover.

Over/Under

UNDER 157.5 (-115) is the total to take.

Despite the high scoring nature of these teams, Youngstown State has gone Under its posted total in its previous 2 home games while Wright State also went Under in its last outing.

In recent games, Wright State is 5-1 to the Under on the road against teams with winning home records. While this game will be up and down, the 157.5 is a few points too high and I will lean to the Under.

Milwaukee at Wright State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Milwaukee at Wright State odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Milwaukee Panthers (14-6, 8-2 Horizon League) and Wright State Raiders (11-10, 4-6) meet Thursday in Dayton. Tip at the Nutter Center is at 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Milwaukee vs. Wright State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Milwaukee is tied with Northern Kentucky atop the Horizon League standings, and the Panthers beat NKU on Jan. 12. The following game on Jan. 14, Milwaukee lost 78-74 in overtime to Wright State. Save for that setback, the Panthers are undefeated since Dec. 29 (6-1).

Wright State has fallen off after that 4-point win over the Panthers as 1-point favorites. The Raiders are 0-2 straight up and 0-2 ATS since. The Raiders’ 79.5 points per game ranks 2nd in the conference and the Panthers are 3rd at 78 PPG. Wright State has averaged 84.2 PPG over its last 10.

Milwaukee at Wright State picks and predictions

Prediction

Wright State 75, Milwaukee 66

Moneyline

PASS.

Not worth risking 2 times your investment to back Wright State.

Against the spread

Milwaukee’s recent exploits have the Panther defense holding opposing shooters to a 38.7% mark from the floor (27.2% on 3-pointers) over the last 7 games. Those figures are difficult to buy into, and Milwaukee could well fall flat in this 1st road game since Jan. 7.

Wright State takes better care of the ball, and the Raiders are more the team that went 6-2 from Dec. 17-Jan. 14 than they are the squad that has been beaten handily the last 2 times out.

TAKE THE RAIDERS -4.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The Under prevailed in the Jan. 14 meeting and has hit in 2 straight Milwaukee-Wright State affairs.

The pace here is 1 thing, and it will be fast. But this is a lofty expectation, and both teams have played schedules rife with weak defensive teams. BACK THE UNDER 154.5 (-110).

Analyzing Saturday’s Cleveland State at Wright State odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Cleveland State Vikings (11-9, 6-3 Horizon) battle the Wright State Raiders (11-9, 4-5) on Saturday, with tip-off from Nutter Center in Fairborn, Ohio set for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Cleveland State vs. Wright State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Cleveland State fell to Northern Kentucky 57-56 on the road on Thursday, but covered as 5-point underdogs. It has now covered the spread in 3 straight games, but is 4-6 against the spread (ATS) in its last 10. This season, the Vikings are 10-8 ATS. The Vikings have struggled offensively this season, scoring only 68.8 points per game (242nd).

The Raiders lost 88-80 to Purdue Fort Wayne at home on Thursday, failing to cover as 3.5-point home favorites. In their last 5 games, they are 3-2 ATS and 4-5 ATS in their last 9 games featuring a spread. The Raiders are 9-9 ATS this season. Wright State has shot the ball well this season, ranking 5th in the country for field goal percentage (50.24%).

Cleveland State at Wright State picks and predictions

Prediction

Wright State 76, Cleveland State 71

Moneyline

PASS.

There is more value on the Wright State spread than there is on the -165 moneyline play.

Against the spread

BET WRIGHT STATE -3.5 (-105).

In their previous matchup this season, Wright State took down the Vikings 82-67 on the road, covering as 1-point road favorites by 14 points.

This should be an interesting matchup as Wright State’s strength is its offense while Cleveland State’s strength is its defense. On the flip side, both teams have struggled equally on defense and offense, respectively, ranking below 200th in points per game, field goal percentage, and 3-point percentage.

The Raiders are also 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games following an ATS loss and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 Saturday games.

Over/Under

BET OVER 142.5 (-110).

In the previous 10 matchups between these teams, the closing line has been below 142 points only 3 times.

For Wright State, in their previous 10 games, the closing line has only been below 142 points 3 times as well. In that span, the Over is 7-3. The Over is also 6-1-1 in the Raiders’ last 8 games following an ATS loss.

Detroit Mercy at Wright State picks and predictions

Prediction

Wright State 81, Detroit Mercy 78

Moneyline

Peg these prices as being fair; no leverage here. PASS.

Against the spread

These 2 programs split 2 meetings a year ago (SU and ATS). Wright State is just a sliver of a lean to get by with a 3-to-5-point cushion here. PASS.

Over/Under

The Over is 4-1 in Detroit Mercy’s last 5 games against winning teams and it’s 4-1-1 in Wright State’s last 6 games following an ATS loss.

Wright State plays at a top-30 pace, and UDM plays at an above-average one. Both teams are on an upswing with recent effective field-goal percentages. Look for fast WSU to get its shots and a couple of extra transition looks, and expect the Titans to counter with frequency and success from 3-point-land.

TAKE THE OVER 153.5 (-110).
