The Detroit Titans will look to bounce back from a 64-61 loss to Milwaukee last time out. Antoine Davis leads the Titans in scoring and assists with 24.6 PPG and 3.1 APG while Gerald Liddell has 16.8 PPG and 12.8 RPG in his eight games so far this season. Jayden Stone has 12.1 PPG with 4.7 RPG to cap off the trio of double-digit scorers for Detroit Mercy up to this point in the season. As a team, Detroit Mercy is averaging 74 PPG on 41.6% shooting from the field, 37.4% from three and 74.3% from the foul line this season.

The Wright State Raiders will look to build on their 82-68 win over IUPUI in their last game. Trey Calvin leads Wright State in scoring and assists with 18.4 PPG and 4.5 APG while Amari Davis has 11.7 PPG and 4.1 RPG this season. Brandon Noel has 11.9 PPG and a team-high 6.7 RPG to lead the Raiders on the glass to round out the group of double-digit scorers for Wright State up to this point in the year. As a team, Wright State is averaging 78.2 PPG on 50% shooting from the field, 35.6% from three and 70.4% from the foul line this season.

Detroit is 4-10 ATS in their last 14 road games and 17-8-1 ATS in their last 26 games following a loss while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games against a team with a winning record. Wright State is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games against a team with a losing road record while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games against a team with a losing record.

I get the case to be made for either side here, but I like the over in this one. Both can score and both don’t play a ton of defense, and both have a tendency to trend to the over. I think we have a higher-scoring game in this one, so give me the over here.
