Friday's matchup is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: Jacksonville have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 36.9 rebounds per game. However, it's not like Queens struggles in that department as they've been averaging 36.8 rebounds per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.

Jacksonville is hoping to beat the odds on Friday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss. For those looking to play the spread, watch out: Jacksonville is playing as the underdogs on the road, but their 2-9-1 record against the spread as such isn't exactly encouraging.
