💰 Best Bet #1 [Marist / Spread / -10.5 at -120 / 62% / Marist has dominated recent matchups with strong defensive efficiency, holding opponents under 40% eFG, while Rider struggles with a league-worst 41% eFG and poor rebounding against top teams.]

💰 Best Bet #2 [Under / Total / 131.5 at -110 / 58% / Both teams play at a below-average tempo (Marist 68 possessions/game, Rider 70), with Marist’s top-50 defensive rating limiting opponents to 65 points per game, and Rider’s offense ranking bottom-100 in efficiency against similar defenses.]

💰 Best Bet #3 [Marist / Moneyline / -550 / 65% / Marist’s superior adjusted offensive efficiency (top-100 KenPom) and Rider’s injury concerns in the backcourt give the visitors a clear edge, supported by line movement favoring Marist despite public lean.]

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment heavily favors Marist, aligning with sharp money as evidenced by the line movement toward the favorite, making a follow strategy optimal rather than fading. Rider’s poor shooting and defensive rebounding (bottom-10 in MAAC) suggest Marist controls the pace, but the overall game projects as low-scoring given both teams’ subpar offensive efficiencies and Marist’s elite turnover defense. No major injuries reported, but Rider’s backcourt depth is tested.

🔮 Recommended Play
Follow the public with Marist — Mathematical models and market consensus point to a strong edge on the favorite covering in a controlled, lower-output contest.
