What to Know

The #11 Providence Friars will be returning home after a two-game road trip. Providence and the DePaul Blue Demons will face off in a Big East battle at 6:30 p.m. ET Saturday at Dunkin' Donuts Center. The Friars are out to keep their 13-game home win streak alive.

Providence didn't have too much trouble with the Georgetown Hoyas on the road on Sunday as they won 71-52. Guard Jared Bynum took over for Providence, finishing with 32 points (a whopping 45% of their total) in addition to five steals and five rebounds.

Meanwhile, DePaul was able to grind out a solid victory over Georgetown on Wednesday, winning 82-74. The Blue Demons' forward David Jones looked sharp as he dropped a triple-double on 22 points, 14 boards, and ten assists. That's Jones' first triple-double of the season.

The Friars are the favorite in this one, with an expected 9.5-point margin of victory. They are currently two-for-two against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

Their wins bumped Providence to 20-2 and DePaul to 12-10. In their win, Providence relied heavily on Bynum, who shot 7-for-8 from downtown and finished with 32 points and five steals. DePaul will need to find a way to minimize his impact if they want to win.
