7 p.m. ET: New Haven at Wagner (-1.5, 131.5)

New Haven (13-16) just saw their three-game win streak come to an end, falling to St. Francis 73-67 and losing outright as 7-point home favorites. On the other hand, Wagner (11-16) has won three of their last four and just took down St. Francis 65-56, covering as 1.5-point road favorites.

This line opened with Wagner listed as a 1.5-point home favorite.

Sharps have quietly sided with Wagner at home, as the Seahawks are being juiced up -1.5 (-115 or -120), with a few other books reaching as high as -2 or even -2.5. We have never seen this line fall to -1 or lower.

Reading between the lines, all movement and liability has come down on the side of the Seahawks at home.

At DraftKings, Wagner is receiving 72% of spread bets and 80% of spread dollars, a “low bets, higher dollars” sharp bet discrepancy in their favor.

This line movement and bet split is especially meaningful considering this is an “added/extra” game with a 6-digit rotation number (306515-306516). As a result, this is a tiny, overlooked matchup that the betting public is largely ignoring. However, based on the market analysis we can infer that pros have specifically targeted Wagner at home.

Ken Pom has Wagner winning by three points (67-64). He also has Wagner ranked higher (320th vs 332nd).

Those looking to protect themselves in the event of a close game may prefer a Wagner moneyline play at -135.

Wagner has the better offensive efficiency (292nd vs 349th), offensive rebound percentage (92nd vs 355th), three-point shooting (36th vs 328th) and free-throw shooting (241st vs 308th).

The Seahawks enjoy a rest vs tired advantage, having last played on February 21st while New Haven last played on February 24th.

Wagner is 6-5 at home. New Haven is 5-10 on the road.

This is also a revenge play for Wagner, who lost to New Haven 80-74 on the road back in mid-January.

7 p.m. ET: Campbell at Drexel (-1.5, 141.5)

Campbell (13-15) has dropped two of their last three and just fell to UNC Wilmington 73-68, failing to cover as 3-point home dogs. Conversely, Drexel (15-14) has won two straight and just held off Towson 68-62, winning outright as 2.5-point home dogs.

This line opened with Drexel listed as a 1-point home favorite.

Wiseguys have pounced on the Dragons laying short chalk at home, pushing Drexel up to -1.5 or even -2 across the market.

At DraftKings, Drexel is receiving 62% of spread bets and 73% of spread dollars, a sharp “low bets, higher dollars” split indicating slight public support but also respected sharp action in their favor.

Ken Pom has Drexel winning by one point (73-72).

With this in mind, many pros have looked to gain some wiggle room by playing the Dragons on the moneyline at -130.

At DraftKings, Drexel is receiving 64% of moneyline bets and 76% of moneyline dollars, further evidence of heavy pro support in favor of a straight up Dragons victory.

Drexel has the better defensive efficiency (146th vs 246th), effective field goal percentage (189th vs 262nd), three-point shooting (110th vs 265th) and hold their opponents to a better effective field goal percentage (24th vs 333rd).

Drexel is 11-4 at home. Campbell is 3-11 on the road.

This is also a revenge play for Drexel, who lost to Campbell 81-60 on the road back in early February.

9 p.m. ET: Abilene Christian at Utah Tech (-3.5, 139.5)

Abilene Christian (13-14) has won three of their last four and just outlasted Southern Utah 87-83 but failed to cover as 8-point home favorites. Meanwhile, Utah Tech (17-12) has won seven of their last eight and just took down Tarleton State 80-72, winning outright as 1.5-point road dogs.

This line opened with Utah Tech listed as a 3-point home favorite.

Sharps have sided with the home chalk, pushing Utah Tech up from -3 to -3.5.

At DraftKings, Utah Tech is receiving 86% of spread bets and a whopping 96% of spread dollars, a notable “low bets, higher dollars” one-way sharp split in their favor.

This is also one of the smallest and lowest bet games of the night, which means the line move and lopsided splits are likely to be coming from wiseguys who have targeted the Trailblazers, not the betting public.

Ken Pom has Utah Tech winning by five points (72-67). He also has the Trailblazers ranked much higher (175th vs 232nd).

Many sharps have looked to gain some added cushion by playing Utah Tech on the moneyline at -165.

At DraftKings, Utah Tech is taking in 85% of moneyline bets and 97% of moneyline dollars, further evidence of heavy pro action siding with the home chalk to win straight up.

Utah Tech has the better offensive efficiency (155th vs 308th), effective field goal percentage (132nd vs 331st), three-point shooting (157th vs 299th) and limit their opponents to a better effective field goal percentage (108th vs 346th).

Utah Tech is 10-2 at home. Abilene Christian is 3-9 on the road.
