I like the Phoenix Suns at home tonight to get us the cash.
This is a bad spot for the Spurs as this is their last game on an extended road trip.
Yes, this will be their 9th straight road game albeit they had the All-Star break to break it up.

I feel that Phoenix is a team that can beat the Spurs with their quickness and shooting at home. Tony Parker is out for the Spurs and although the line has been adjusted, I like this line at a 'PK' currently as I am counting on Phoenix to win the game straight up. The Spurs own a 2-0 edge in this series this year and I look for Phoenix to get the win as this game will have somewhat of a playoff atmosphere and this is a possible playoff preview as well and the Suns playing with double revenge.

The Suns do a great job at protecting the perimeter as they are ranked third in the NBA as opponents are only shooting 33% from behind the arch. I will also factor this into my decision. I also like the fact that the Suns are 21-6-1 ATS in their last 28 games playing on only one days rest and are 5-0 ATS their last 5 games when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. (The Spurs gave up 109 points to Portland). Phoenix is a team that can get out and run in transition and they will push the pace tonight on a Spurs team that does not want to run, especially without Parker in the lineup. Off the bench, I love the Morris Brothers and the spark they provide. This is a strong 7 man rotation that can go 8 and 9 deep when Barbosa and Ishmael Smith make their presence. THe Spurs are also 5-13 ATS in their last 18 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Lets play the Phoenix tonight in the Valley of the Sun.
