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.

Saint Louis moneyline only at a sensible price

The home setting and early shooting favor Saint Louis; consider the moneyline only below roughly a 78% implied win probability because current odds were not consistently posted.

High Point plus the points at a double-digit spread

Consider High Point at 10 or more points; its 4-0 start and defensive profile support a manageable margin, but pass at a shorter number.

Wait for an inflated game total

Consider the under only at 165 or higher; pass on lower totals.
