Weber State vs. Portland State Key Player to Watch

Jaylin Henderson, G - Portland State Vikings

Not only is Jaylin Henderson second on the team in points per game, averaging 17.9, but he's also leading the team in assists per game, averaging 5.9. The Portland State offense goes through Henderson, and he also plays a significant role on defense, leading the team in steals, averaging 1.5. If there's one weak point of his game, it's his 3-point shooting. He has a 3-point field goal percentage of just 27.1%, so he should defer to Terri Miller Jr. when it comes to 3-point shooting moving forward.

Weber State vs. Portland State Prediction and Pick

In today's edition of Daily Dunk, I broke down why Portland State to cover as one of my best bets for tonight:

The shooting numbers between these two teams are similar, but it's the defenses that're going to make the biggest difference. Portland State enters this game ranking 53rd in defensive efficiency, while Weber State ranks 261st.

Both teams rank inside the top 80 in two-point shot rate, but Portland State does a much better job of defending the interior. The Vikings rank 58th in opponent two-point field goal percentage, keeping teams to shooting 48.6% from two-point range, while the Wildcats rank 338th in that metric, allowing teams to shoot 56.6% from two-point range.

Pick: Portland State -4.5 (-110)
