(NBA) Boston vs. Phoenix,
Point Spread: 6.50 | -110.00 Phoenix (Home)
Result: Win
The Suns have been very good at home over the past month.
Having beaten an Eastern Conference playoff hopeful and Western postseason probable in back-to-back games, the Phoenix Suns step up the competition another notch when they host one of the top teams in the East, the Boston Celtics, here on Sunday evening.
Riding two dominant performances by a new-look reserve crew, the Suns surprised the Charlotte Hornets 120-103 and Oklahoma City Thunder 118-111 on Thursday and Friday to create just their fourth two-game winning streak of the season.



A big reason for the Suns' rise in the Western rankings has been the play of Alan Williams off the Phoenix bench.

The second-year power forward had totaled 41 points in his previous 44 games before exploding for 16, 17, 11, 16 and 14 off the bench in his last five, producing three double-doubles along the way. Bledsoe and Booker are also 2 tough guards for the Suns.

I expect this to be a close game throughout and I'm taking the home underdog with the Phoenix Suns.
