Nicholls is listed as a 14.5-point home favorite with the total for this game set at 148.5 points.

Injuries

Neither side has anyone listed on the injury report for this game, so barring any last-minute announcements, both sides will come into this game at full strength.

Matchup History

Lamar’s 69-66 win back on January 12th, 2023, snapped Nicholls’ four-game win streak in this head-to-head matchup.

Trends

Lamar is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Wednesday games and 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 road games against a team with a road winning percentage above .600 while the over is 8-2 in their last 10 road games against a team with a winning home record. Nicholls is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games and 1-7-1 ATS in their last 9 games against a team with a winning percentage below .400.

Pick

I’m backing the over here. I do lean towards Nicholls here, but the problem for both teams is that the defense has been lacking across the board and I’m just not in a position to lay this many points with Nicholls, even at home, or consider points with Lamar as they’ve been beat up lately. Seems like a game that gets into the 150s, so give me the over here.
