Drexel
Moneyline Pick: Drexel (-115) - A-

Drexel’s explosive backcourt has fueled a brief two-game win streak, contrasting Elon’s current three-game skid that puts added pressure on the Phoenix this late in the season. Both teams have logged well over 41 games, meaning every win takes on heightened urgency in pursuit of a possible postseason berth. The Dragons seem poised for success despite an uncertain status for their starting center, while Elon faces a major setback with its top guard still sidelined. Historically, Drexel’s forwards have excelled in matchups against the Phoenix, consistently hitting double figures. Taking into account these streaks, looming injury news, and past head-to-head results, Drexel’s -115 moneyline delivers solid value. This wager earns an A- rating for its strong likelihood to cash and a rewarding return should it come through.

Over/Under Pick: Over 130, (-110) - A-
Elon's sharpshooter guard returns on a hot streak, and although the Phoenix have dropped their last two contests, they appear poised to break open the scoring floodgates against a Drexel squad that has won three straight. The Dragons’ forward is nursing a minor wrist injury but should still see significant floor time, while Elon’s center remains questionable due to an ankle sprain. Drexel’s premier scorer has historically dominated Elon’s perimeter defense, racking up points at will in this matchup, and his aggressive style could tilt the pace in favor of the over. With both teams sitting at 17-14 overall and determined to bolster their postseason credibility, expect a motivated battle that could blow past 130. This pick earns an A- for its strong likelihood of hitting and solid potential payout.
Spread Pick: Elon, +1 (-110) - A

Elon’s swingman, confirmed active on ESPN team rosters, looms large in a contest where the Phoenix enter on a modest winning streak while Drexel languishes after a disappointing skid. Recent bruises to one of Drexel’s key forwards appear pivotal, especially given Elon’s tendency to exploit an opponent’s thin frontcourt. Historically, the Phoenix have fared well in this rivalry, covering the spread more often than not when these squads clash in conference showdowns. With that momentum on their side, betting on Elon plus the points holds strong potential for both a sizable payout and a solid shot at victory.
