4* NBA ROAD WARRIOR

Phoenix vs. Dallas, 01/23/2012 20:30 EDT, Score: 87 - 93

Point Spread: +6/-110 Phoenix

Sportsbook: DSI

Result: Push

The Dallas Mavericks are simply getting too much respect in this game with the injury to Dirk Nowitzki, who is expected to miss the at least three games. Without Nowitzki Dallas is a mediocre team at best, and I look for the Suns to possibly win this game outright. Phoenix comes into this game off back-to-back road wins over the Knicks and Celtics in similar situations to what we find in this game.

As long as Steve Nash is running the show in Phoenix, the Suns are capable of beating any team in the league. While Phoenix doesn't have a ton of talent on their roster, the playing field is pretty much even with Nowitzki not suiting up. BET THE SUNS +6
