NBA Beat-Down on the Hardwood
(NBA) Phoenix vs. Chicago,
Point Spread: -5.00 | -107.00 Phoenix (Away)
Result: Win
The Suns have a decided advantage on the offensive and defensive end with Durant in the lineup. The Bulls are 3-7 in their last 10 games played. The Suns have the sixth-lowest adjusted defensive rating and are allowing the fourth least amount of points per game. The Bulls have the 24th-highest adjusted offensive rating and are putting up the 20th most points per game. Even when the Bulls are playing well in a game they have been unable to sustain it. Case in point, they had a 21-point lead on Detroit late in the third, only to lose it and had to hang on at the end and failed to cover a 6-point spread. I can't trust this Bulls team to play a full game and the Suns' offense is too much for the Bulls.

Play on Phoenix.
