this is what i have money on today, the phoenix suns to beat the denver nuggets at indian wells -1.5 phoenix suns.
allen iverson will not play for denver in this game.
amare stoudamire is out for phoenix for 2 weeks.
the majority of denver's points will come from josh smith, carmello anthony-if he plays, he has a finger contusion, and kenyon martin-if he plays, he also has tendonitus in his knee.
phoenix will have strong paint coverage with almundson shaq and lopez covering the paint. denver will not be able to penetrate the paint , so they will shoot mostly jumpshots. phoenix on the other hand will pound the ball to their bigs on the inside and look for the 3 pointer.
nene, denver's center, will not be able to handle shaq or almundson, so look for a lot of freethrow shots from phoenix and, look for shaq to miss 50% of them. i assume raja bell will be marking jr smith, nene will be marking shaq, anthony carter will be marking nash, lineas kleiza will be marking either grant hill or matt barnes.
i expect barnes to contribute on the rebounding end, and i expcect for him to make some open jumpers, lineas kleiza is certainly not as mobile.
phoenix have a very deep bench this season, the nuggets lost their only inside presence when they sold marcus camby in the offseason.
i bought points on this because it is better to be safe than sorry, even with allen iverson not playing, this team is still a fairly productive team with jr,anthony and martin scoring the bulk of their points.
