Suns +4.5 in Utah

[No coincidences]

Playoff spot basically hanging in the balance. I'll take the more experienced team with a 2-0 record in the series already this season thank you very much. Hard to bet against the Jazz at home, but I think Phoenix can at least cover here if not win SU.

Thoughts?

PHX ML is tempting. GO hard or DONT go at all.

Really like Utah here. Here's why.

--- Utah plays very well at home. The place will be going crazy.

--- Devin Harris is playing very well right now. Nash is Nash and he will definitely get his team good shots, but he will struggle defensively with the quickness of Harris. I expect a lot of easy baskets for the 2 bigs b/c of the penetration Harris will create.

---Hill/Frye? Are they hurt? They definitely won't be 100%.

For Phoenix to cover/win this game, I really think they need to lots of 3's. Good luck, I'll be on Utah.

Just remember that David Stern and the NBA would rather have Steve Nash and the Suns in the playoffs than the superstar-less Utah Jazz.

This here is exactly why I think this will at least be a close game. Not saying Suns will win outright but I feel pretty good about taking Suns +4.5. Even if they win though, the Spurs will probably still be playing hard against them to improve their record. Utah should have no problem with Portland so I still don't see Nash making the playoffs to be honest.

Will John Stockton play tonight?

Utah this time. I think they might win by as much as 10.
