VCU vs Dayton ATS Pick: Dayton -7 ½ (-110)
Though the first game was closer between Dayton and VCU, the Flyers should be able to even the series and get a stronger win at home.
The Flyers own a top-five offense in the A-10, averaging 74.8 points on a conference-leading 48% shooting, and that has gotten even better recently. In its last five games, Dayton has averaged 79.4 points on 52% shooting, coming off a win in which it scored 100 points on 55.4% shooting.
The Rams have had the opposite success, losing their last two after their offense has stalled out, averaging 67.5 points on 44.7% shooting in that time. Though VCU has shown the ability to score, it could also be without its leading scorer in Max Shulga, which could cause issues against the top defense in the league.
Shulga missed VCU’s last game, resulting in the Rams scoring just 59 points. And with the Flyers’ offense also stepping up, they should be able to cover at home.
VCU vs Dayton Player Prop: Kobe Elvis Over 3.5 Assists (+104)
Kobe Elvis leads the Flyers with 3.6 assists per season this season, and he has picked it up even more to close out the season. In each of his last three games, Elvis has dished out five assists each and he averages 3.5 assists at home this season.
Elvis had two assists in Dayton’s first game against VCU, but as the team leader on a the team that averages 14.8 assists per game, he should be able to keep up his recent production and hit the over once more.
