Providence vs Manhattan Key Stats

The Friars are 3-2 in their last five games and have managed to cover the spread in only those games. In their most recent game against the Rams, Bryce Hopkins scored 14 points and grabbed 15 rebounds, while Jared Bynum scored 14 points and dished out five assists. The rest of the unit also stepped up on both the offense and defense.

The Providence Friars are averaging 76.8 points on 46.3% shooting while giving up 69.6 points on 44.4% shooting. They are shooting 33.1% from the three-point line and 72.7% from the free-throw line. On the defensive end, they have showcased some lackluster performances and failed to restrict their opponents to a low shooting percentage during the game.

The Jaspers are 3-2 in their last five games and have covered the spread in three of those contests. In their most recent game against the Hawks, Ant Nelson scored 21 points while Marques Watson contributed 16 points and two rebounds, as the rest of the roster failed to step up on either end of the court. Ant has led the charge for the Jaspers this season in points, assists, and steals per game.

The Manhattan Jaspers are averaging 68.6 points per game on 45.5% shooting while giving up 65.4 points on 40.7% shooting. They are lackluster on the offensive end of the court and have only been decent on the defensive end as well. They are restricting their opponents to 63.1% shooting from the free throw line and 32.7% from the three-point line. They need to step up to grab rebounds on either end of the court.

Providence vs Manhattan Betting Prediction

The Jaspers are 4-0 ATS in their last four games on the road and have hit the over eight times in their last nine contests away from home against teams with a high winning percentage. The Friars have hit the under four times in their last five games, but I feel that the over in total points seems like a fairly reasonable bet tonight.
