Play - Phoenix Suns (Game 556).
Edges - Suns: 12-5 SUATS in the playoffs when coming off a double-digit loss; and 4-0 ATS at home in the playoffs when coming off a double-digit loss and facing No.1 seeds; and 6-1 ATS when coming off a loss of 14 or more points and facing a foe coming off a double-digit win this season … Nuggets: 6-18 SU and 8-16 ATS away in the playoffs when coming off a win of 6-plus points, including 0-2 SUATS in Round Two by an average losing margin of 19 PPG ... We cement the call with this from our Well Oiled Machine as it notes that No. 1 seeded road dogs in the NBA playoffs coming off a double-digit playoff win are 5-20 SU and 6-18-1 ATS when facing No. 4 or higher seeds since 2004. With the Suns recommend a 2* play on Phoenix. Thank you and good luck as always.
