Realize its at New Jersey, but does that really matter? Got the opportunity to watch Phoenix totally dismantle a really good Denver team Saturday night. With stoadumire back and how Phoenix is playing doesn't 3 seem awfully low?

It is low but remember....Phoenix has lost 3 of last 4 on the road...Jersey is at home and is riding an 8-game win streak. Although Jersey is playing B2B they are actually 3-2 in L5 B2B games. Still like Phoenix in this spot, though.

NJ also just beat a pretty good Det team. On the road too. Gotta look both ways ya know.

Den was also playing back to back (after running with SEA the night before). Det however was off a day rest AND at home. How do you beat the best team in the NBA on the road? Based on recent performances, all biases aside, NJ should be favored here. Maybe -1 or -2 IMO.

HMmm....gotta wonder here and look a little deeper. May take a shot at NJ...up to +4 now.

NJ = due for a loss

SUNS = better record, better conference, better bench, better fg%, better rebounding, better ball handling = BETTER TEAM

just my opinion, but based on fact, too

Suns have a bench? Why don't they use it? These guys keep their starters in against bench players with a 20 point lead until the last 2 minutes of a game.

i'm not saying they have a bench - but they have a BETTER bench than the Nets and much more productive by time played:

Suns bench production: 27.3% of points, 27.3% of minutes
Nets bench production: 21.1% of points, 28.2% of minutes

on a b-b, this should really favor the Suns

i feel the line was set right, alot of times if a line looks low during the week, i wouldnt worry about it too much compared if it was a sunday, then i would 2nd guess it. that game was horrible
