Portland at Phoenix

The Suns no longer have the scoring tandem at the top of the rotation they once had, but they have replaced them with depth and go 9-10 deep. Playing an unrested Portland team as a home dog, where they are tough presents value on them in this spot. Portland is off to a 5-1 start, taking advantage of some home cooking where they are 4-0 and averaging over 105 points per game. The road hasn't been as lofty where they are 1-1 with the scoring average slipping to 95.5 ppg - some 10 points less. The Blazers are just 1-5 ATS in their last six on the road, and with a rested Suns team that has quality depth, they will likely be at a lower level against fresh legs in the fourth quarter, making the difference in this one. Play on Phoenix.
