The Suns look like they may have landed themselves a "big man" (Shaq) in the middle. Tonight, however, their focus will be on getting some "payback" against a team which has already beaten them twice this season. That includes a three-point loss at New Orleans in mid-December and a six-point loss here at Phoenix in early January. The Suns were favored by nine points for that game, despite the fact that the Hornets were in the middle of a run which saw them win 12 of 13. The Hornets have cooled off, going 0-3 SU/ATS their last games, yet tonight's line is significantly lower. I feel that gives us excellent line value with the home team. Note that despite their recent success, the Hornets remain a money-burning 18-33 ATS the last few seasons when listed as road underdogs in the +3.5 to +6 range. During that stretch, the Suns were 46-27-2 ATS the past few seasons when playing with "revenge," including a 17-9-1 ATS mark when attempting to avenge a home loss. Nash knows the importance of this game and was quoted as saying: "It's very important, that's a team that we haven't beaten yet. It's a team that's in second place and it's a double win right there..." The Suns' last three victories have all come by double-digits while the Hornets' last three losses have come by a minimum of nine points.

Taking Phoenix (-4.5)!
Good luck!

Los Angeles Lakers at Atlanta Hawks

Atlanta has enough depth, rebounding, scoring and athleticism to make things tough for the new look Lakers here. They played last night, Kobe jammed a finger and they'll need more time to get in sync with Gasol. Last night's win over a dysfunctional New Jersey team didn't prove anything.

Taking Atlanta (+5)!
Good luck!
