- At 8:05 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing the Phoenix Suns (537) minus the points versus the Chicago Bulls (538). THE SITUATION: Phoenix (20-11) had their three-game losing streak snapped last night in a 124-121 upset loss to Charlotte as a 9-point favorite. Chicago (15-16) has won three straight games as well as five of their last six contests after their 133-126 win against Minnesota on Wednesday as an 8-point underdog.
REASONS TO TAKE THE SUNS MINUS THE POINTS: Phoenix should bounce-back tonight as they have covered the point spread in 9 of their last 12 games after a straight-up loss — and they have covered the point spread in 8 of their last 11 games after a point spread loss. Phoenix has also covered the point spread in 14 of their last 17 games after allowing at least 115 points in their last game. And in their last 30 games after winning three of their last four games, the Suns have covered the point spread in 21 of these contests. Phoenix made 50.6% of their shots last night which was their lowest shooting effort in their last five games — and they have covered the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games after making at least 50% of their shots in two straight games. They go back on the road where they have covered the points spread in 5 of their last 6 games. Chicago failed to cover the point spread in 13 of their last 14 home games after a win at home. The Bulls have also failed to cover the point spread in 7 of their last 9 games after scoring at least 130 points in their last game. Chicago has been feasting on weaker competition with their five recent victories against Houston, Sacramento, Detroit, Indiana, and the Timberwolves. They lone winning team they have played in their last six contests was against Philadelphia — and they lost to them by 7 points. The Bulls have failed to cover the point spread in 8 of their last 11 home games against teams who are winning at least 60% of their games on the road. They have also failed to cover the point spread in their 3 home games this season as an underdog getting 6.5 to 12 points.
FINAL TAKE: Chicago has failed to cover the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games against teams with a winning percentage over 60%. Phoenix has covered the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games against teams with a losing record — and they have covered the point spread in 8 of their last 10 games when favored. 20* NBA Friday Daily Discounted Deal with the Phoenix Suns (537) minus the points versus the Chicago Bulls (538). Best of luck for us — Frank.
