    Yep, leaning towards the Suns.

    The Suns absolutely dominate the Bulls recently. The Bulls are also back to back traveling and the Sun are just off a home loss and would like to get a win up at home. Does look like a decent pick here.

    well, bulls have got to be tired, especially after the blowout tonight and the long road trip. also i believe gooden is injured. anyone know if he is actually playing tomorrow though?

    and just because suns lost last time doesn't mean they'll lose this time around. they should get this home win, but of course anything can happen...

    That was a loss in Chicago, which pulls in revenge factor, but the last 5 games at Phoenix the Suns are 4-1 ATS and have won with an average winning margin of 14 in those games they covered.

    Phoenix seemed like a decent play, but they can't seem to hold leads. They blow it with their horrible defense which lets teams get back in the game and Shaq and Nash turn over the ball too much. I wanted to play this one but the Suns are too inconsistent right now winning a few here and then losing to weak teams next. They're not the same team as before. As for the Bulls they won two in a row against garbage teams. It looks like this would be an easy play, but I believe this is too many points -10. There are better games to play tomorrow.

    After the spurs beat up on them I think the suns will be looking the take it out on the bulls.

    Remember one thing here, without Gooden the bulls have no center! Grey is like a big freezer and can barely move. Noah can only dunk the ball and is overpowered quite a bit on the defensive end. But 10 seems like a lot... but I would not trust the bulls.. Way to inconsistent. Lots of points and eveb more uncertainty...maybe avoid completely..

    Faves are 27-9 ATS in L5 days in NBA.

    I would still avoid these Suns like the plague. They're 15-27 ATS and 6-15 ATS at home. They're pretty much the definition of an overrated team. A combination of the public remembering past seasons and seeing a lot of star power this season.

    I think maybe taking the over on this game might be better than picking a side. Neither team has good defense and this might be a fast tempo game unless Shaq completely slows it down. Even if Shaq does slow things down a bit their offense will put up the points just like it did for their last game with the spurs. The only thing is you would have to worry about the Bulls scoring. This team runs a lot but their shooting % kind of sucks at times.

    suns down big early, but rallied right before half to come within 3. had the momentum for a few minutes, but halftime will take that away.

    2nd half will be a new game. this will be fought to the finish...

    The best thing that could happen to the Suns right now is Porter getting fired. And throw out Kerr as well. Took the idiot less than a year to destroy a great team.

    Porter was a horrible choice for the suns. Wasted a year for the already old suns team with Porter.

    i think suns are getting more points from free throws than from actual in-game shots...
