Phoenix Suns +8 & more

[Bullet Kays]

Phoenix goes to United Center tonight after a day off to play the bulls who are "most likely" without Derrick Rose again. The Bulls really struggled last night in Memphis without Rose losing 102-86, their widest margin of defeat this season. Chicago couldn't get anything going without Rose in the line up and I expect the same tonight if he doesn't play. Phoenix has lost four in a row but played well in their last game at San Antonio despite losing 101-92. Nash put up big numbers coming back from an injury and I expect the offense to be clicking even more in his second game back tonight. Phoenix had a day off yesterday while the Bulls were getting thumped and that should play a factor tonight. The suns will also have Grant Hill back in the line-up which will help. The Suns are 1-4 on the road while the Bulls are 5-0. Phoenix may not win this game, but I definitely think it will be a close one and feel good getting 8 points. Take Phoenix Suns +8

My other play tonight is on the Houston Rockets. Houston has been playing very well as of late winning three in row and breaking 100 points in each of those games. They've played great at home all year and currently have a 4-1 home record and those four wins were by an average of 13.4 points. Detroit has played awful on the road this year with a 1-5 record and those 5 losses coming by an average of 15.8 pts. They've lost seven of their last eight games, and I see that continuing tonight by double digits against the red-hot Rockets.
Take Houston Rockets -7.5

*Note- Derrick Rose is officially out of tonight's game

[Bullet Kays]

Rose is out and the line goes from Suns +8 to +9.5? Interesting.

[Speedy88]

Taking a chance here, PHX +10. Under looks good here too IMO.

[Bullet Kays]

I agree, I waited and bought the .5 to make it +10 as well, but I would still take it at +8 if it went down.

Beautiful play. GL my man

Thank you sir. Bol if you tail

i have it +9.5...don't really understand why the line is so high for chicago, coming of a b2b and without rose...a little strange to me, but ill take rested nash against a rose-less bulls team

The weird part is the line jumped 1.5 points in favor of the bulls right after Rose was announced inactive. I ended up seeing +9.5, bought to +10 and made a larger play but I will still back up my original +8...I don't understand that line movement at all.

That's probably not good news for us PHX backers. But Nash will be the best player on the court at all times, and I think he should be able to keep PHX in this game. I also took under 183.5, I think we see a pretty defensive minded game.

star player out for 2nd straight game, bulls play tough together tonight and snuff out a win at home with good defense...i think nash can cover 9.5 though, so don't know why its so high

The Bulls defense is insane. Be careful with the Suns here. Young teams usually dont respond to being guarded so tightly.

Young????

[Bullet Kays]

Yea, usually not a good sign when it doesn't make sense...but maybe the books felt bad about that nasty push on the over of the Hawks/Raptors game last night, but that doesn't make sense either

The Suns are the 3rd oldest team in the NBA...

[The Architect]

getting juiced really haard now at pinny, still -115 at The Greek, and dropping to +9 at lot of other books

[Bullet Kays]

I'm seeing +9 now as well, feeling better about the weird jump now

[The Architect]

late money coming in....

[ToPHeR]

On Bulls...

[Bullet Kays]

Back to +9.5 now in my book

[The Architect]

back to 9 at bookmaker, still heavy juice at pinny

[The Architect]

closes at +9 at pinny. win or lose, its always a plus to beat the closer at pinny. made the right bet, best of luck hope we cash this. lets go suns

[Bullet Kays]

Game time boys, lets make some money

How did you get +8? It was +10 before tip. Needless to say, they're down 24 so it probably won't matter.

Betting against a NBA team missing their superstar isn't a good formula for success.

Read below OP, have it at +10

Yep......

[The Architect]

Yep......

literally has nothing to do with it. the bulls are shooting 62% from the field..suns are over 50%..can't win a bet when the team you're against is shooting that well..CJ watson hasn't missed a shot, its ridiculous

And again, Suns are the 3rd oldest team in the NBA...

guess its just boozer's night!

Only BC of Nash and Hill. They only have 3 guys over 30. I would call that young.

[Speedy88]

Suns +10

[Bullet Kays]

Ksnooksk- This game had nothing to do with the bulls defense. They shot 53% from the field, 50% from 3pt, and 79% ft. The suns put up 97 points which is above the bulls allowed average.

Always hate to lose but hard to cap for a team to come out and not miss a shot. My Rockets play hit putting me at 4-1-3 the last two days. Kind of funny how I hear "I told you so" after 4 wins and 1 loss but I guess that's expected here on SBR.

[jaeguyoon]

I had suns in a 5 team teaser along with magic, gsw, nuggets, houston.. All covered, except the suns can't even cover a 14 point spread..... would've won a good amount... sucks.
