Saint Josephs vs La Salle Betting Prediction
The Hawks' offense now scores 70.1 points a game, but following their 86-point performance, we anticipate that they will improve. Expect the Hawks to start scoring right off the block in a repeat of their last game in which two of their players combined for 17 points.
Since the Hawks' defense allows 73.6 points per game, we foresee a strong defensive performance against an offense that hasn't produced much. The defense's ability to stop goals will enable them to gradually gain ground. Take the Hawks against the spread.
Pick: Saint Josephs Hawks +1.5 (-110)
