Tossed and turned over this play for a minute or two. My situational mind took over the fact I am backing one of the worst defensive teams in the NBA. If it happens to lose, I expect someone to come in here and say 'told ya so' afterwards and it will be a keen reminder. With that being said, I have to play this. I cannot, not, play this situational spot. If I was backing a team with a pulse of a defense I would have multiple units on it. All you have to do is peek at the last two Cleveland Cadavalier games and see how close they came to beating two of the better teams in the NBA on the road without their soon to be all-pro point guard. Quality stuff but after blowing 7 point leads in both fourth quarters they have to be deflated. Phoenix is early in its road trip and could use a road win. This is the spot. Again, hold ya nose and if they make a few plays on defense this should be smooth sailing imho. We shall see...
Phoenix -2.5 -110
