5* NBA NO-DOUBT ATS BLOWOUT

Phoenix vs. Milwaukee, 02/07/2012 20:00 EDT, Score: 107 - 105

Point Spread: -7½/-104 Milwaukee

Sportsbook: 5Dimes

Result: Loss

I look for Milwaukee to come out and play extremely hard to snap their two-game losing streak. The Bucks had a major letdown at Detroit just a couple nights after upsetting the Miami Heat and then ran into a healthy Bulls team that shot 53.3%. Prior to those two losses they had won three straight and six of eight, covering the spread in seven of those eight games.

The Suns are a bit overvalued in this game, especially when you consider they are playing the second game of a back-to-back set on the road. The key is to win at least one of the two games, and the Suns already did that by beating Atlanta 99-90 last night. It was the Suns second straight win overall, but this team hasn't won more than two in a row all season.

This has been a pretty favorable spot to back the Bucks. Milwaukee is 19-8 ATS in home games after 2 or more consecutive losses over the last 3 seasons and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. The Suns on the other hand are just 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. BET MILWAUKEE!
