I think the league wants to make sure it won't be another snooze-fest in Phoenix tonight because they assigned 2 very over refs to this game:
-Violet Palmer:26-12 overall O/U, 13-3 when total is set between 185 and 194.5
-Leon Wood:30-16 overall O/U, 17-6 when total is set between 185 and 194.5
the other ref is neutral:
-Rodney Mott:24-23 overall O/U, 11-11 when total is set between 185 and 194.5
Something telling me this game has under coming. In Phx last 20 gms at hm only 5 have surpassed this total. They are not the team that used to put up 110,120 pts/gm anymore. Phx has only surpassed 90 pts 4 times in last 10 games, and have only given up only 100+ in 4 / last 10 games. Unless one is thinking that Atl can go into Phx and whoop some behind. However, also given their history, yes Atl has done poorly in Phx over the years, and yes they have had some high scoring games together, again not the same phx team we r used to seeing score 100+ steady.
Atl as a 4-4.5 pt fav are 1-6 under. Atl is not a team that can string together many wins in a row, Only putting together 4 other streaks over the last couple years of 4 + wins (3 being 4 gm and 1 6 gm streak. Phx is one house that Atl has not had great success in, I'm thinking Atl winning streak goes down the tubes tonight with a Phx win something like 90-86 , 95-89.
Phx last 10 gmes have not been great, however if you look at thier opp over that span they have combined record of 333-245. Atl has been doing decent, however thier last 10 opp records are 257-319. A clear difference in strenth of sched. If we are to look for the games when teams will end a winning streak, I think this is a good spot for this too happen. Considering I think Atl is 2-7 ats @ Phx last 9 games, I like this spot to have Phx come out on top with an underdog ML :)
As my first pick I will take Phx @ + 4
