Sport: NBAPick Selection: Phoenix Suns -8 -110
New Orleans Hornets at Phoenix Suns 9:00 PM ET
Phoenix Suns -8 -110
Phoenix had won six straight games in this series before New Orleans took the first meeting this year with a five-point victory at home. The Hornets have been playing very well right now with wins in seven of their last eight games but to be honest, it isn?t all that special. Golden St. is the only teams from those seven victories that have a winning record on the season and despite five straight road wins, New Orleans finds itself in a tough spot here. The Suns have won four straight games and while the competition has been equally as bad, Phoenix has had the luxury of remaining at home since the calendar turned into the New Year while New Orleans will be playing its third game in four nights, all coming on the road. They played the Warriors last night in a very up-tempo game and they could be tired from that going into another contest that will be fast paced. As mentioned, this is a revenge spot for Phoenix and the Suns fall into a great revenge situation. Play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points that are revenging a straight up loss against opponent as a road favorite and are playing only their 2nd game in five days. This situation is 43-18 ATS (70.5 percent) over the last five seasons with the average point differential being +11 ppg. Look for a full out effort by the Suns tonight as they grab the runaway victory. Play Phoenix Suns 2 Units
