What to Know
Oakland and the Mastodons are an even 4-4 against one another since November of 2017, but not for long. Both teams will face off in a Horizon League battle at 7:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday at Allen County War Memorial Coliseum. Oakland pulled off an upset win in their last outing, and are hoping to pull that off once more against the 1-point favorite Mastodons.
We saw a pretty high 163-over/under line set for Oakland's previous contest, but the actual score was more down to earth. They came out on top against the Raiders by a score of 74-60 on Saturday. Winning is a bit easier when your three-point shooting is a whole 24.2% better than the opposition, as Oakland's was.
PFW was handed a three-point loss in their last matchup, but they sure didn't let that happen against the Jaguars on Saturday. The Mastodons put a hurting on the Jaguars on the road to the tune of 92-65. The match was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 43-24.
The Golden Grizzlies have been performing well recently as they've won ten of their last 12 matches, which provided a massive bump to their 16-10 record this season. As for the Mastodons, their win bumped their record up to 16-9.
Some high-performance offense is likely on the agenda as the two teams are some of the highest scoring teams in the league. Oakland hasn't had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 76 points per game. However, it's not like PFW struggles in that department as they've been averaging 79.8 points per game. With both teams so easily able to put up points, the only question left is who can run the score up higher.
Oakland and the Mastodons pleased both fans and bettors in their last matches by winning and covering the spread. As for their next game, PFW is expected to win a tight contest, barring any buzzer beaters. Bettors picking them against the spread have some confidence (to put it mildly), as the team is sitting on a four-game streak of failing to cover when playing as the favorites at home.
