Miami at Phoenix

Both these teams have under-achieved this season and each comes into the game at 20-19. The Suns are just 4-12 in their last 16 games. There are signs of change, however. The Suns have allowed fewer points than they did in their previous game in their last 3. If the defense is stepping up the wins will come. This is a grueling Western swing for the Heat. This will be their 5th road game in 8 days, and I expect they will be low on energy for this one. The Suns are glad to get home after completing a 5 game road trip of their own and should bring energy from the home crowd. Make the play on Phoenix.
