Antoine Davis is averaging 24.3 points and 4.8 assists while Bul Kuol is averaging 15.4 points and five rebounds.

The Northern Kentucky Norse look for a win after winning eight of their last 10 games. The Northern Kentucky Norse are averaging 72 points on 45.2 percent shooting and allowing 71.4 points on 44.9 percent shooting. Trevon Faulkner is averaging 16.6 points and 5.4 rebounds while Marques Warrick is averaging 15.9 points and 1.7 assists.

The Titans are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games and 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The Norse are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 Tuesday games and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The over is 7-3-1 in Titans last 11 overall. The over is 8-1-1 in Norse last 10 overall. The favorite is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings. The home team is 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings.
You can make a case for either side with how well both teams are playing, but Detroit has been the more impressive team overall and is winning its last five games by an average of 7.8 points while shooting 48.4 percent from the field. The Northern Kentucky Norse is winning their last three games by an average of three points but has been shaky at times defensively. Toss up game that could go either way, but I lean toward Detroit.
