Point Spread Pick for Richmond vs. Davidson

• Davidson Wildcats to cover. (4 Units)

The Wildcats have the edge in this game because they’re playing well offensively, scoring more than 75 points per game at home, while making over 48 percent of their shots. They do a good job of finding the open man, and they rebound the ball well, grabbing more than eight offensive rebounds per game, which will give them more scoring opportunities. They also cut down their turnovers in recent games, coughing up the ball less than 10 timesper game, so don’t expect them to give up many easy-scoring chances. The Spiders aren’t very good defensively, and they gave up more than 76 points per game in their last three games, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Wildcats. Take Davidson to cover the spread.
