Boise State vs. Grand Canyon Key Player to Watch

Jaden Henley, G - Grand Canyon Lopes

Jaden Henley is leading Grand Canyon in points per game this season, averaging 17.2, but he's also been their best defensive player, averaging 1.6 steals per contest. He's not the best three-point shooter, shooting 22.8% on 79 attempts, but he knows how to drive to the rim and can be a dangerous playmaker for the Lopes. He scored 22 points the last time these two teams met.

Boise State vs. Grand Canyon Prediction and Pick

Instead of betting on the spread in this game, I'm going to target the total and bet the UNDER in this spot. Both teams are stronger defensively than offensively, ranking 32nd and 86th in defensive efficiency but 167th and 252nd in effective field goal percentage.

Both teams also play a relatively slow pace of play, coming in at 199th and 220th in possessions per game.

These two teams are similar in a lot of ways, which makes deciding which to bet on a tough puzzle to figure out, but with out similar they are, there's a good chance this is going to be a defensive affair. I'll take the UNDER.
