Quinnipiac heads to Niagara Falls on Friday evening for a MAAC matchup with Niagara at the Gallagher Center, and the market is asking you to lay a road number with the Bobcats at -8.5. The records explain the gap. Quinnipiac is 18-11 and has traveled well at 8-6 away, while Niagara is 7-21 and has been inconsistent, even with a more competitive home split.

The Memphis Grizzlies travel to the American Airlines Center this Friday, February 27, 2026, to face the Dallas Mavericks in a Western Conference showdown that finds both franchises in a transitional period.

Harvard heads to Princeton on Friday night for an Ivy League matchup at Jadwin Gymnasium, and the market is giving the Crimson the road favorite role at -3.5. Harvard is 15-10 and has been steady enough to travel, while Princeton is 8-18 overall but noticeably more competitive at home at 7-5.
