Pho and Over
Nesterovic might be a non impact player, but in the case of the suns, it's a big loss. Pacers are pratically left with Hibbert ( Not offensively polished), Foster ( no offense) and Murphy ( Softie) to bang the paint with Shaq and Amare. I expect Pacers to be in early penalty each quarter the bigs are in. Another I like about this game is books are still underestimating the suns, they came out of the season being the team that can't beat the big boys. . Other option pacers got is to go small, and try to outrun suns who are still very much capable of playing a fast ball.
Which brings me to why I like the over. Last nights suns game, they kindda went back to run and gunning. Guess the old saying " Can't teach old dogs new tricks" goes well with suns. Again books are slow to adjust to this. Suns score for the past 4 games ( 103 Spurs!!!, 95 Hornets!, 107 PTB, 114NJ) That NJ game, they really ran! Pacers Scored 95 and 94 against 2 of the best defensive team in Det and Bos. This just screams value value value!!!!
