MIKE'S NUGGETS/SUNS SIDE
(NBA) Denver vs. Phoenix,
Point Spread: -3.00 | -108.00 Phoenix (Home)
Result: Loss
Phoenix is facing elimination following a 118-102 loss in Denver Tuesday night. The Nuggets are averaging 112.6 points per game on the road, well below their 118.7 ppg average at home. With their backs against the wall, I expect a solid defensive outing from the Suns and this total looks more than a couple of points too high to me.

In addition to the under, I also like the Suns to win and cover. Home-court advantage has been huge throughout the series, and I don't see why it wouldn't be the case here again, especially with the Suns in desperation mode.

8* PLAY ON PHOENIX SUNS.
