MONTANA GRIZZLIES @ SAN FRANCISCO DONS

Montana’s 0-1 recent mark needs context

Montana is 0-1 in its one recent completed game, averaging 69.0 points and allowing 87.0; the reported 105-40 win and 63.2% shooting conflict with that verified context.

Dons showed real perimeter punch

San Francisco made 12 threes at 48% in its 79-70 win over North Dakota State.

Oosterbaan’s ankle is worth monitoring

Ben Oosterbaan sprained his ankle late in the first half, returned after halftime, and his status for Montana remains unconfirmed.

Montana frontcourt availability remains a question

Kenyon Aguino and Amari Jedkins were sidelined for Montana’s opener at Oregon, and Tuesday availability remains unconfirmed.

Pick Ideas

Angles drawn from the matchup analysis above and refreshed as the news changes. They are a separate read from the LineCrush pick for this matchup, so the two can land on different sides.

Price-sensitive San Francisco moneyline lean

USF is the cautious home-side lean, but avoid an excessive favorite price; the available prediction-market indication is around 78%, not a conventional sportsbook line.

Consider Montana team threes only at a modest number

Consider a Montana team three-point over only at a conservative threshold; the small sample and uneven opponent quality argue against a high line.

Wait for confirmed sportsbook numbers

No reliable conventional spread or total was available, so pass on those markets until lines are posted.
