Utah State will hit the road for this Mountain West Conference matchup with UNLV. Tipoff on Wednesday, March 1 is scheduled for 11 p.m. ET while airing on CBSSN.
Let’s take a look at the odds and lines on DraftKings Sportsbook and make some picks.
Spread: Utah State -3
Over/Under: 148
Moneyline: Utah State -140, UNLV +120
Utah State (22-7, 11-5 Mountain West) is firmly on the NCAA Tournament bubble. Because of that, the Aggies need to stack a few more quality wins while avoiding disappointing losses. They took care of business in their last game at Wyoming, winning 65-55 on Feb. 21. Guard Steven Ashworth led the Aggies with 19 points and seven rebounds.
UNLV (17-11, 6-10 Mountain West) dropped three games in a row earlier this month, but the Runnin’ Rebels got back on track with a narrow 54-53 victory over Air Force last Friday. Elijah Harkless led the way with 23 points and seven rebounds in 30 minutes of action.
Utah State is the better team, and the Aggies have more to play for from a postseason perspective. Utah State won its first meeting against UNLV by a score of 75-71 at home on Jan. 17. UNLV hasn’t shown promising form lately, losing four of its last six games and barely beating a MWC bottom-feeder (Air Force) along the way. Utah State should be rested after not playing in over a week, and the Aggies are poised to avoid a blemish on their tournament resume.
