What to Know

After three games on the road, UNLV is heading back home. They will take on the Akron Zips at 10:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday. Given that the pair suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this match.

It's hard to win when you don't work as a unit and post 11 fewer assists than your opponent, a fact UNLV found out the hard way on Tuesday. They took a hard 82-65 fall against the Spiders.

Even though the team lost, they still had their share of impressive performances. One of the most dominant came from Jackie Johnson III, who scored 17 points. Less helpful for UNLV was Luis Rodriguez's abysmal 0-5 three-point shooting.

Meanwhile, things couldn't have gone much worse for the Zips as they lost 79-59 to the Bulldogs on Tuesday. Akron has now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.

The losses dropped the Rebels to 2-3 and the Spiders to 3-2.

Not only did the pair lose their last games, but neither team managed to cover the spread. Going forward, UNLV is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 3.5 points. This contest might not be the best time to bet Akron against the spread since they've let bettors down the last three times they've played.

This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: UNLV have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 30.8 rebounds per game. However, it's not like Akron struggles in that department as they've been even better at 36.3 per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
