The current betting odds have Auburn listed as a 9.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Auburn hasn't looked great in their games this season with their 19-16 record overall and their 7-11 conference record which had them in the bottom half of the SEC. They have looked a lot better on their home court though with their 13-4 home record this season. Meanwhile, Nevada has looked good in their games this season with their 24-12 record overall and their 12-8 conference record which had them in the top half of the MWC. They have been a terrible road team though with their 4-8 road record this year. Nevada was a solid team in the MWC, but they weren't even one of the best teams in their own conference and they had a lot of trouble on the road too. They have looked good in this tournament so far, but they have also played both games at home, so this is going to be their first game on the road in the NIT. As bad as Auburn has looked in the SEC this year, they did play in a much tougher conference and they also had one of the strongest schedules in the nation this season with a tough non-conference schedule too. They still have a lot more talent on their team too and they have looked a lot better at home this year, so they can take advantage of the road troubles that Nevada has had all year. Auburn didn't look great in their last one with a tighter win over Seattle, but they will be looking to have a better performance on their home court as this will truly be their last home game of the season, and this is a tournament that they have a real shot at winning too. The best way to place a bet here is on Auburn to cover the spread in this game.
