Nevada is coming off an 82-79 overtime win over UNLV in their last game. That victory extended Nevada’s win streak to three games. New Mexico is coming off a 78-73 loss to UNLV at home in their last game. New Mexico has now lost back-to-back games, and four of their last five overall. Nevada won the first meeting between these teams, 96-74 at home.

Nevada is 16-10 ATS this season and 7-3 ATS in their last ten games. Nevada is also 4-5 ATS on the road so far this season. New Mexico is 12-15 ATS this season and 3-7 ATS in their last ten games. New Mexico is also 8-8 ATS at home so far this season.

We have two teams in two different directions at the moment. Nevada has won three straight while New Mexico has lost four of five straight up. I like Nevada in this one, and I especially like that this is a small number to lay with the much better team. Nevada -1.5 is the play.
