Niagara vs Rider

Niagara center Sam Barnes has struggled under the weight of a three-game losing skid, while Rider enters with a modest win streak that has revitalized team morale. With the Purple Eagles’ D-man Marcus Lowry nursing an ankle concern and the Broncs’ guard Jordan Ellis historically excelling against Niagara’s defense, Rider’s momentum appears strong heading into this pivotal conference clash. Both lineups have already battled through more than 41 contests, making every win a critical step toward a potential postseason run, and Rider’s consistency on both ends suggests a favorable outcome on the moneyline, meriting a B+ designation for solid probability and worthwhile profits.

Niagara’s fiery guard play has stayed consistent despite a three-game losing skid, while Rider enters on a modest two-game upswing. The Purple Eagles remain mostly healthy, but the Broncs could be without an experienced forward, denting their interior strength. Historically, Niagara has held its own in conference battles by frequently covering tight spreads, and this matchup sets up another narrow contest. The recommendation is to back the Eagles plus the points for a respectable payout, earning a B grade for confidence and potential profit.
