- Hawaii basketball is a one-point underdog at home against the UC Riverside Highlanders.
- The Rainbow Warriors have only covered the spread in seven of their 17 home games.
- UC Riverside was favored in the two teams’ earlier matchup this season and lost by seven.
HONOLULU – UC Riverside is a slight favorite against the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors for Thursday night basketball in Honolulu.
Hawaii has struggled to cover the spread as the home team this season, with a record of 7-10. The opposite is true for UC Riverside, as they have covered the spread in nine of their 15 away games.
With legal sports betting sites having the odds so close for this matchup, there is not very much upside to taking a team to cover instead of taking a team to win outright.
Hawaii would have to win the game to cover the one-point spread. Sportsbooks are offering -110 odds for the Rainbow Warriors to cover but -105 odds for them to win.
UC Riverside is favored by one point and would have to win the game by at least two points to cover the set spread. Instead of worrying about covering at -110, betting on the UC Riverside Highlanders to win straight up at -115 is the better wager.
These two teams faced off earlier in the regular season in California, and Hawaii won by seven. Opening lines for that matchup favored UC Riverside by 3.5.
Hawaii has played ten games as underdogs this season and that game against UC Riverside was the only one that ended with a victory.
With home-court advantage for the Rainbow Warriors, they are a great bet at legal CBB sportsbooks to beat the Highlanders for a second time this season.
