Green Bay vs Northern Kentucky Injury Report
Anthony Roy is questionable for Green Bay with a foot injury. Roy, who is the leading scorer for Green Bay, hasn’t played since December 14. The Northern Kentucky Norse don’t have any players on their injury report.
Green Bay vs Northern Kentucky Prediction
The Green Bay Phoenix are not only racking up the losses, but they’re just 5-10 ATS on the season. The Phoenix can’t get out of their own way, and things won’t improve until Anthony Roy. Given this line, oddsmakers are telling you what they think about Roy’s return. Of course, check the injury report before betting, but it’s not looking great. The Northern Kentucky Norse have seen seven of their eight wins come at home and while they’re not great on either side of the ball, this is a mismatch. There are better options on Saturday’s CBB card, but if forced to pick, I’ll lay the points with the Norse.
