Meanwhile, the Warriors are 1-7 ATS in their last eight Saturday games and 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games overall. Hawaii is 1-8 ATS in their last nine games as a favorite and the under is 5-1 in their last six games as a favorite.
PICK: I’m going to stick with Hawaii. The Warriors notched some solid points totals over their first few games, and hit 68 or more in five of their first six outings. Friday’s matchup was something of a defensive lapse overall, and I think Hawaii will come back with a better game plan here. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a higher points total from both teams either.
