What to Know

Fresno State will be in front of their home fans on Wednesday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-court advantage. They and the UNLV Rebels will face off in a Mountain West battle at 11:00 p.m. ET at Save Mart Center. We saw both of these teams recently pull out wins they weren't expected to get, so we'll see who gives it right back.

Last Saturday, Fresno State's game was all tied up 28-28 at the half, but luckily for them it didn't stay that way. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 68-66 win over the Falcons. The victory made it back-to-back wins for Fresno State.

Xavier DuSell was the offensive standout of the match as he went 7 for 8 from beyond the arc en route to 29 points and 0 assists. As a matter of fact, that's the most points he has scored all season.

Meanwhile, UNLV came tearing into Saturday's contest with three straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 11.7 points) and they left with even more momentum. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the team sidled past the Lobos 80-77. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win UNLV has posted since November 28, 2023.

UNLV can attribute much of their success to Dedan Thomas Jr., who scored 25 points. Another player making a difference was Kalib Boone, who scored 11 points along with five rebounds and two blocks.

The Bulldogs' win bumped their record up to 11-13. As for the Rebels, their win bumped their record up to 13-9.

Wednesday's contest is shaping up to be a masterclass in shooting: Fresno State just can't miss this season, having made 48% of their shots per game. However, it's not like UNLV struggles in that department as they've made 47.1% of their shots this season. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.

Fresno State and the Rebels pleased both fans and bettors in their last matches by winning and covering the spread. Going forward, UNLV is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 4.5 points. They might be worth a quick bet since they've covered the spread the last four times they've played.
