🧠 Top 3 Overall Best Bets

💰 Best Bet #1 [Lehigh / Spread / -4.5 at -110 / 58% / Lehigh’s superior adjusted offensive efficiency (105.2) against Army’s middling defense, combined with home-court advantage, supports covering the spread; recent form shows Lehigh winning by 6+ in 4 of last 6 home games.]

💰 Best Bet #2 [Under / Total / 140.5 at -110 / 54% / Both teams play at a below-average tempo (Lehigh 69.8, Army 68.2 plays per game), with defensive rebounding rates limiting second-chance points; last 5 combined games averaged 135.4 points, favoring a low-scoring affair despite no major pace-up factors.]

💰 Best Bet #3 [Lehigh / Moneyline / -190 / 62% / Lehigh’s 7-3 home record and edge in turnover margin (+2.1 per game) over Army’s road struggles (3-5 away) make the favorite a solid play, especially with no key injuries impacting the Mountain Hawks.]

Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Keith Higgins Jr. (Lehigh) / Over Points / 15.5 at -115 / 72% / Higgins averages 16.8 PPG in home games with high usage (28%), facing Army’s weak perimeter defense (38% opponent 3PT); over hit in 7 of last 9 matchups.

Player Prop #2: Jaden Daly (Army) / Under Rebounds / 6.5 at -110 / 68% / Daly’s 5.2 RPG on the road drops against Lehigh’s strong interior (top-150 defensive rebounding %); under cashed in 6 of 8 away games, supported by Lehigh’s havoc rate limiting boards.

Player Prop #3: Dominic Parham (Lehigh) / Over Assists / 3.5 at -120 / 70% / Parham dishes 4.1 APG at home, exploiting Army’s turnover-forcing defense (18% opp TO rate) with efficient ball movement; over in 5 straight for Lehigh starters.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors Lehigh, aligning with money distribution and line movement toward the favorite, suggesting no strong contrarian edge—following the public here is mathematically optimal given the EV from efficiency ratings and home advantage. Army’s recent three-game win streak is notable but against weaker non-conference foes, while Lehigh’s defensive metrics project control. Overall game scoring outlook leans under, as both squads rank bottom-200 in tempo and offensive rebounding, limiting explosive runs.

🔮 Recommended Play
