Toledo Rockets Betting Preview

The Rockets started out with a couple of losses this year but they’ve been much better since then. Toledo fell versus South Alabama and Marshall in their first two outings, then hit a nice win streak over Wright State, Detroit, Youngstown State and Troy. Following another loss to Belmont, the Rockets took a blowout win over Central State OH. Over eight games so far that gives Toledo a 5-3 record on the season.

In their matchup with Central State OH on Monday, the Rockets came out of the break with a 46-21 edge. Toledo added 56 more points from there, cruising to the win 102-58 in the end. Tops in scoring was Austin Parks with 27 points and 10 boards for a double-double. London Praytor also doubled up with 12 points and 12 rebounds, while Will James chipped in with 12 points, six boards and six assists in the winning effort.

Oakland Golden Grizzlies Betting Preview

Over on the Grizzlies’ side, they played some tough teams in their first half-dozen games and could muster just one win in that time. The lone victory was over Defiance; otherwise it was losses to Michigan, Purdue, Houston, UCF and Eastern Michigan in that time. Oakland closed out the month with wins over Lamar and Montana, finishing November with a 3-5 record across their first eight outings of the season.

On Wednesday matched up against Fort Wayne, the Grizzlies posted a high-flying 101-92 win at OU Credit Union O’rena. Oakland’s top scorer was Brody Robinson with 27 points, five rebounds and eight assists in the victory. The Grizzlies got 15 points, five rebounds and four assists from Isaac Garrett as well. All five starters finished in double-figures for Oakland, each with at least 12 points and five rebounds.

  • Toledo has lost the first half in three of its last four road games against the Horizon League.

Toledo vs Oakland Prediction

I’ll stick with Toledo I suppose. The Rockets demolished an overmatched Central State OH team in their last outing, shooting a nice 51.8 percent from the floor and 17-of-20 (85 percent) from the line. Toledo had a 51-20 rebounding edge and outscored the opposition 66-34 in the paint alongside just eight turnovers. It was a nice bounce-back following a double-digit loss to Belmont, and the Rockets are now 5-1 in the last six outings. Toledo has scored 72 or more points in each of those games as well.

As for Oakland, they were able to power out a win over a middling Fort Wayne team this week thanks to 53 percent from the field and 45 percent (13-of-29) from outside. Oakland also had a 43-33 edge in rebounding and a 35-14 advantage on fast break points. That makes three straight wins for the Grizzlies, with 83 or more points in each of those. Oakland could be quite dangerous here if they can keep it going.

Andrew Jett's Pick: Toledo Rockets +2.5
