The Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodons came up lame in their last home stand, falling to the North Dakota Fighting Hawks, 82-88, in a game where they were heavily favored and should have won easily. Today they will have a chance to redeem themselves in front of the home crowd when they host the North Dakota State Bison. Despite their last home loss, the Mastodons are still a good bet when they take the court at Hilliard Gates Sports Center. PFW is 11-4 at home, where they light up the scoreboard, averaging 83.1 points per game, allowing an average of 76.7, and are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 at home. NDS comes into today’s game just 3-9 on the road, averaging 65.3 points per game and allowing an average of 77.5. The Bison are 5-17 ATS in the last 22 meetings with the Mastodons and 2-9 ATS in their last 11 trips to Purdue Fort Wayne. The Mastodons will be laying 4.5 and should cover the number.
TODAY’S PICK: FORT WAYNE MASTODONS -4.5
