The Monmouth Hawks snapped their 4-game losing streak and improved to 11-6 on the season after defeating the Fairfield Stags, 61-58, this past Thursday.

The Jaspers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games, however, are just 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games vs. Monmouth. The Hawks are 14-3 ATS in their last 17 games & 9-2 ATS in their last 11 home games.
Monmouth is the better team here, however, this is still a team that lost recently by 36 points at Marist and come into this game with just a 3-2 record at home. Manhattan has been able to put up some solid offensive numbers behind Jose Perez and although I don’t think the Jaspers pull out a win here, I think they can do enough with the double-digit points to get us a cover. Good Luck!
