Broncos Down Rams

The Boise State Broncos (11-4, 6-6-0 ATS) defeated the Colorado State Rams on Tuesday, 65-58. The victory was the third straight for the Broncos. Boise State is 1-1 (1-1-0 ATS) on the road. Boise State is ranked 59th according to KenPom and 49th in the Bart Torvik rankings.

Both teams struggled to shoot in the first half, as the Broncos held a 28-21 lead despite hitting only 39.3% of their shots. They did hit four of 11 three-point attempts before the break but finished 6-18 overall. That was right around their season average (34.7%), but they finished with a 38.9% field goal percentage, down significantly from their season average (45.9%).

Five different players scored in double-digits for the Broncos, led by O’Mar Stanley who had a double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds. Stanley went 7-13 shooting, continuing his impressive season that has seen the center averaging 61.5% from the field. The Broncos are 100th in points per 100 possessions (109.0) and 33rd in points allowed per 100 possessions (96.2).

Wolfpack Win Streaks Continues

The Nevada Wolfpack (15-1, 11-4-0 ATS) defeated Air Force on Tuesday, 67-54. It was their eighth straight victory as the Wolfpack are now a perfect 9-0 at home (5-3-0 ATS). Nevada is 33rd in KenPom Rankings and is 35th according to Bart Torvik.

Nevada held a six-point lead at the half, holding Air Force to 38.5% shooting. The defense continued to storm the Falcons, holding them to 37.3% overall despite the Academy hitting 10 of 23 three-point attempts (43.5%). The defensive scheme has been amazing this season as Nevada is 26th in opponent field goal percentage (39.1%) and 14th in opponent free-throw percentage (65.4%).

Kenan Blackshear led the way with 22 points, hitting seven of 13 shots and he was 7-11 from the free-throw line. It was the fifth time this season with at least 20 points. Nevada is 57th in points per 100 possessions (112.7) and 32nd in points allowed per 100 possessions (96.1).

Best Bets for this Game

Full-Game Side Bet

Insiders Status:

Rating:

Navada is on a roll and will probably win this game. However, expecting them to win by more than six is unlikely. The Broncos are just 3-6-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings, but they have always been the favorites. The shoe is on the other foot, and it will be the Wolfpack struggling to cover the spread.

The Broncos are a very good shooting team and are good enough at the free-throw line to keep this close (71.2%). They are also a very good rebounding team, which should help them to keep this game close. Nevada wins by no more than five.

Prediction: Take the Boise State Broncos at +6.5 (-115)

Full-Game Total Pick

Insiders Status:

Rating:

When these teams meet, they let the shots fly and the action is really great. They have gone over in seven of the last 10 meetings, including in the last six meetings. The totals for all of those games were at 133.0 or more and they still managed to go over.

Nevada has had a lot of success putting up points lately. They have produced at least 88 in three of their last six games and are at 72 or more in eight of their last 10. Boise State has produced at least 78 in five of their last seven games.

Prediction: Go over 140.5 (-110)

Red Flag Warning issued for heightened fire danger in Southern Nevada

LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — We’ll start the week with a heightened fire danger with dangerous heat later this week.

TODAY

Expect mostly sunny skies with winds picking up again on Monday. High temperatures will reach 98 degrees in Las Vegas with south winds 10-20 mph and wind gusts up to 30 mph.

A RED FLAG WARNING is in place from 10am to 9pm Monday for gusty winds and dry weather, so if a fire started, it would spread quickly.

Winds are estimated to be 20-25 mph with gusts around 40 mph at times with relative humidity of 5%-15%.

Air quality is ranked ‘good’ to ‘moderate’ for dust and tree pollen. The most common pollens are juniper, cedar, willow, sycamore and palm.

TONIGHT

We’ll see variable clouds this evening with skies going from mostly cloudy to mostly clear overnight.

Wind gusts will pick up again before midnight with gusts 30-40 mph possible downslope of the Spring Mountains in the west valley.

Elsewhere, gusts will be 20-30 mph. Breezes will eventually back down to 5-15 mph overnight. Valley lows will drop to around 74 degrees.

WHAT’S NEXT

We have reached 109 consecutive days without measurable rain in Las Vegas.

No rain is in sight, but for perspective, June is the driest month of the year in Las Vegas. Fingers crossed on a hopefully more active monsoon season!

High pressure builds next with highs 5-10 degrees above normal. Temperatures will reach around 108 degrees in Las Vegas by Friday. The last time we hit a high temperature of 108 degrees was back on August 20th of last year.

Not much relief is in sight by the weekend with highs around 107 degrees and temps at or above 105-106 degrees NEXT Monday through Wednesday.
