Phx -3 2.2 to win 2 Phx is coming off a collaps in DEN and they are aware that they need to regroup. SAS will have their full attention because of the resent results in the series. SAS on the other hand might cut some of their starters minutes down if they fall behind early due to a much easier game (GSW) on the back end of this back to back.
Tease LAL -5 and POR -2.5 2.4 to win 2 I like both plays. LAL had to travel across country but they did have 2 days off to do it. CHI is a good spot for LAL to get this road monkey off their back. POR is banged up but they are better without Oden. They also play a very bad road team in SAC. POR looks to make amends for its 1-3 road trip and 2-6 in their last 8 overall. They also can see the upcoming schedule and know they need this game.
HOU is a good play if the line is -4 or better even without Ariza.
