Good value with the Falcons on a pretty strong home floor. And although the Falcons got beat at home earlier in the season by Wisconsin Milwaukee,which is in a strong Horizon League, and lost to good traveling Buffalo, they should pose problems for the slipping Bobcats; after all, Ohio has gone just 2-5 SU since late December,is 0-7 ATS as a small road dog, and will not have G Steve Coleman (undisclosed) who averages 11 ppg, 4.2 rpg, and 2.5 apg. Furthermore, BG at home plays better defense,rebounds better, and shoots better than Ohio does on the road. Technically, the home team is 5-1 ATS in this series and the favorite is 9-2 ATS. BG is 5-1 ATS as a small home favorite, 5-0 ATS on Wednesday, and 4-1 ATS off a SU win. We don't see a letdown here for BG after a solid road win Sunday at Kent State.

NEW ORLEANS HORNETS -3.5
The Western Conference is rapidly becoming an easy conference to handicap. All but two teams (Minnesota and Golden State) have winning records at home while only Dallas, the Lakers and Oklahoma City have winning records on the road. Until the oddsmakers begin to adjust for this home/road dichotomy, we have no choice but to continue to back hosts in the Western Conference matchups and tonight it's no different when New Orleans hosts Memphis. These two squads act as glaring examples of this home/road dichotomy. The Hornets are 15-4 at home and 6-15 on the road. Memphis is 15-5 at home and 7-13 on the road. Note that each of Memphis' last four losses have come on the road, two by double-digits to Atlanta and Utah. They have lost eight straight times here at the New Orleans Arena. Short number we can take advantage of here. Take New Orleans.
PHOENIX SUNS -12.5
For the sorry 3-39 Nets, this shapes up as a "can't win" game. They have been particularly brutal vs. the Western Conference, going 20-44-1 ATS. They have traditionally struggle here, going 2-9 ATS in Phoenix since 1996, but the Suns will take them seriously having lost ouright last year. They did defeat the Nets by 28 in the earlier meeting. Needless to say, New Jersey can't match the Suns in scoring. In fact, this is a battle of the lowest scoring team in the league vs. it's highest. New Jersey averages 19.5 PPG less than does Phoenix. It's not that the Suns hold foes to less than 100 points, but when they do, they are automatic, going 8-0 SU/ATS this season. The Nets barely average over 90 PPG and have scored triple digits just six times all season. Further illustrating our point is the fact that New Jersey is 0-7 ATS this season when the total is 200+. Suns have lost four straight, all on the road, but will be happy to return home where they average better than 113 PPG. They are 14-4 ATS after allowing 120+ points in their previous game. Take Phoenix.
