What to Know

The Nevada Wolf Pack have the luxury of staying home another game and will welcome the Norfolk State Spartans at 5 p.m. ET Dec. 21 at Lawlor Events Center. Nevada is out to keep their five-game home win streak alive.

The Wolf Pack beat the UC San Diego Tritons 64-56 last week. Among those leading the charge for Nevada was guard Kenan Blackshear, who had 19 points in addition to five rebounds.

Meanwhile, the North Carolina A&T Aggies typically have all the answers at home, but on Sunday Norfolk State proved too difficult a challenge. Norfolk State skirted past North Carolina A&T 70-66.

Nevada is the favorite in this one, with an expected 10.5-point margin of victory. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (5-2), so they might be worth a quick bet.

Their wins bumped the Wolf Pack to 9-3 and the Spartans to 9-4. Watch the contest and check back on CBS Sports to find out who keeps up the positive energy and who hits a stumbling block.
