La Salle Explorers (3-3) vs Temple Owls (3-4)
Wednesday, November 30, 2022 at 6:00 pm
My math model only favors Temple by 3.34 points in this game and the Owls are just 2-7 ATS in their last nine neutral site affairs and 0-5 ATS in their last five games following a straight-up win. The Owls could also be missing a key member of their frontcourt in Central Florida transfer Jamille Reynolds (knee), who leads the team in both rebounds (6.7) and blocks (1.1) per game. La Salle head coach Fran Dunphy is one of the game’s best in-game technicians who commands respect from his players. The Explorers possess a veteran backcourt led by senior Josh Nickelberry, who transferred from Louisville last year and is averaging a team-high 15.3 points per game. Sophomore Khalil Brantley takes over the point where he’s averaging 14.3 points and 4.0 assists per game. Dunphy addressed the need in the frontcourt by bringing in senior twins Fousseyni Drame and Hassan Drame, who played integral roles in Saint Peter’s Elite Eight run. The Drame brothers are both averaging double-digits in scoring and five-plus rebounds per game. The math favors La Salle and the underdog is 3-1-1 ATS in the past five meetings in this series. Grab the points with La Salle and invest with confidence.
