Wolf Pack a Reasonable Bet vs. Portland, Averages 43rd Nationally in 3-Point Rate

Portland is an average 3-point shooting team, ranking 43rd nationally in 3-point rate (45.9%) and 297th in 3-point percentage (26.4%). The Wolf Pack on the other hand, don't shoot too many 3's, as they are 337th nationally in 3-point rate. They prefer to attack the rim and get to the free-throw line. Defensively, Nevada could have the edge, having held WCC teams to 39 points. Thus, the Wolf Pack covering the 13.5 point spread is reasonable, considering their 6-1 ATS in last seven home games, and 5-0 ATS in last five September games; contrasted to Portland's 2-8 ATS in last ten road games.
