Canisius vs Marist Injury Report

Neither Canisius nor Marist has a player listed on its injury report.

Canisius vs Marist Prediction

Thick line for a Marist team that’s 11-12 ATS on the season, but this line has more to do with Canisius than anything. Canisius has just two wins on the season and hasn’t won a game in over a month. Canisius is also 9-16 ATS on the season, despite being big underdogs like this nightly. Canisius has zero betting value in its current form, and there are only 12 teams with a cover percentage less than Canisius’ 33 percent. Marist is 9-2 SU at home this season, and it’s a team that’s competing for an MAAC title. Marist smoked Canisius 70-47 less than a month ago, allowing 30 percent shooting from the field. I doubt things get better on the road. Give me Marist in another beat-down over Canisius.
