Phoenix Suns @ Portland Trailblazers
The Portland Trailblazers tonight look to bounce back from a disappointing home loss when they host the Phoenix Suns.
The Blazers are an even 11-11 SU and ATS this season. They had won four straight home games which included wins against upper-echelon teams in the Pacers, Nets and Lakers. That emotional win over LA left them a little flat for their next game which they lost to the Bucks. "We've got to get it figured out," Forward Zach Randolph said. "We won a big game against Los Angeles. We came back and it felt like we had no energy." Expect them to be fired up for tonight's contest against their Pacific Division rivals.
The Suns 9-16 record is easily the worst in the Western Conference. They had lost six straight games before scraping by 92-91 Tuesday night in overtime against the Sonics. Despite forcing 26 turnovers it was a less than impressive win by Phoenix as they shot less than 39% from the field and scored just 3 points in overtime. They haven't coped well with the loss of Amare Stoudamire going just 1-6 ATS during his absence. Phoenix has lost five straight road games by an average of more than 11 points per game and that's bad news against a strong home team like Portland.
While you wouldn't want to wager your lost dollar on a team like the Blazers tonight is a good spot for them to win and cover.
Recommended Play: Portland -6.5
