Niagara @ Manhattan

Current Records: Niagara 7-8; Manhattan 9-4

What to Know

The Manhattan Jaspers are 10-2 against the Niagara Purple Eagles since January of 2016, and they'll have a chance to extend that success Tuesday. The Jaspers and Niagara will face off in an MAAC battle at 7 p.m. ET at Draddy Gymnasium. Both teams looked pretty sloppy on the offensive side of the ball the last time they faced off, scoring just 113 points combined.

Manhattan didn't have too much breathing room in their contest with the Canisius Golden Griffins on Sunday, but they still walked away with an 80-75 victory.

Meanwhile, Niagara suffered a grim 78-55 defeat to the Iona Gaels on Sunday.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Manhattan is expected to win a tight contest. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a four-game streak of ATS wins.

Manhattan is now 9-4 while the Purple Eagles sit at 7-8. The Jaspers are 5-3 after wins this year, and Niagara is 4-3 after losses.
