What to Know

The UNLV Rebels will look to defend their home court Saturday against the #2 UCLA Bruins at 5 p.m. ET. The Rebels will be strutting in after a win while UCLA will be stumbling in from a defeat.

UNLV has more to be thankful for after their contest against the Whittier Poets on Wednesday. UNLV took their game at home with ease, bagging a 101-45 victory over Whittier.

As for UCLA, it looks like they got the smaller half of the wishbone at Thanksgiving dinner. Things couldn't have gone much worse for them as they lost 83-63 to the Gonzaga Bulldogs on Tuesday. Guard Jules Bernard wasn't much of a difference maker for the Bruins; Bernard finished with only seven points on 3-for-11 shooting in his 32 minutes on the court.

The Rebels have to know they'll be fighting an uphill battle given the 10.50 point spread they are up against. True fans might be the only ones betting on them, currently 0-3 ATS, to cover the spread.

UNLV ended up a good deal behind UCLA when they played when the teams previously met two seasons ago, losing 71-54. Maybe UNLV will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the matchup and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
