Green Bay vs Providence Prediction 

Providence comes into this matchup looking for their fourth win in a row to start the season, but they have played three very easy teams so far. The Friars will have the home-court advantage in this game, but they are only shooting 43.8% from the field. Green Bay got their first win in their last game and while they do have a higher shooting percentage, they are allowing 84 points per game on defense. Providence has played very strong defense this year and I just don’t think Green Bay can get enough stops to keep this close. Take Providence here.
