Davidson vs. Richmond Prediction and Pick

This feels like a good time to sell high on Davidson with a good buy low opportunity on the Spiders.

Davidson can do no wrong, but the market may be running away with them, as the team has failed to cover two games in a row as big favorites. Now, they travel to face a Richmond team that profiles similarly to them as an offensive power house. Davidson is ranked 25th in ShotQuality's adjusted offensive metric while Richmond is 31st.

Neither team gets to the line much nor generates second chances while both protect the rock at elite levels. This ultimately feels like the time to get off the Davidson train as they allow the 13th most three-point attempts to opponents and Richmond is a dangerous team from deep, hitting on nearly 35% of their shots from beyond the arc.

While the visitors are second in three-point percentage, Richmond has the on-ball chops to run them off the three-point line more often, posting a middle of the pack opponent three-point rate. This is an experienced Spiders roster that beat Davidson on the road last season in their lone meeting. I think the Spiders get on track here.

PICK: Richmond -1
