Suns/Blazers

whats everyones thoughts here? Hill is questionable to phoenix.

They played once already in Portland after Shaq was acquired I believe, with the Suns winning by 5 even though the game was close down the stretch. Since that game, I've seen Phoenix make strides and Portland regress a little. The obvious bet would be Phoenix -3.5 even with Hill out, and my initial lean is laying the points...probably won't end up playing it though

Phoenix is a tough call right now. It's really a gamble, because it's hard to say how well they'll be playing on the road. If the game was at their home, then it's an easy call, because they played very solid their last home games. Maybe the Shaq trade finally started to bring its fruits - we'll find out tomorrow.

Well I came up with this being a pick em. So I would have to say taking the points would be the best way to go. But it will be a no bet for me.
