5* NBA *BEST BET* on Suns -1.5
Off three consecutive defeats, the Suns will be lacking no motivation tonight.

Phoenix has failed to cover the spread in each of its last three games but is on an awesome 19-8 ATS run after failing to cover the spread in 3 or more consecutive games.

The home team has dominated this series of late. It is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings and has won these games by an average of 21.3 points. The Suns won 125-107 the last time they hosted. It is also worth noting that the Trail Blazers are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Phoenix.

Portland has been a poor investment in games oddsmakers expect to be close. It is on a 5-16 ATS slide in games when the line is +3 to -3. It has lost these games by an average of 4.3 points. Take the Suns.
