The Coach's NBA LATE SHOW!
(NBA) Golden State vs. Phoenix,
Point Spread: 5.50 | -110.00 Phoenix (Home)
Result: Loss
The Phoenix Suns currently sit 10th in the Western Conference, and catching up to the 8th placed Oklahoma City Thunder looks like a tough task. Still they are only 2.5 games back, so we should expect a solid effort here at home against the Warriors. Golden State is coming off a home win over the Clippers, and there isn't much to prove here on the road in a back-to-back situation.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Home Cookin' - The Warriors have a long history of struggling on the road in this series, losing three straight trips to Phoenix. It goes a lot deeper than that though, as they've only managed to win 12 of their last 82 in Arizona dating back to the 80s.

2. Fatigue - Not only is this the Suns second game in as many night's, it's also their third game in four nights. Don't be surprised if key players see their minutes limited here tonight.

3. X-Factor - The Warriors have only covered the spread twice in their last 10 home games, and have a losing ATS record on the road overall, yet they are being asked to cover a bunch of points again tonight.

Selection: This is a play on the Phoenix Suns (8*)
