Chicago is making a late charge for the postseason, and they’ll be trying to chase down Toronto when they host Phoenix, who has won seven in a row.
Suns vs Bulls odds – Tuesday, March 30, 8:00 PM ET
The Suns dropped Minnesota 111-105 on the road on Sunday for their seven straight win, and Amare Stoudamire continued his breathtaking run of form with 30 points and 17 rebounds. This was the seventh time in 12 games that Stoudamire has dropped at 30 points, and he’s averaging 29.4 points and 11.0 rebounds in his last five games.
Steve Nash had 14 points and 11 assists, but those checking out the Suns’ NBA betting odds will be watching the two-time MVP as Nash has been bothered by a bad back, and if he goes down, the Suns are in big trouble.
The Bulls won their second game in a row with a 110-103 win in Detroit on Sunday, led by 23 points off the bench from Flip Murray. Derrick Rose was next with 21 points and nine assists for the Bulls, who shot 54.9% from the floor, and they held a slight 37-31 edge on the boards. The Bulls are starting to get healthy again, and Joakim Noah is playing himself back into shape after missing for most of the month with a foot injury, and the Bulls have really missed his presence on the inside.
Chicago should be favored at home in your sportsbook, and they’ll be going for a season sweep of the Suns after a 115-104 win in Phoenix on January 22nd. Rose had 32 points for the Bulls, who shot 50.6% from the floor while holding the Suns to 38.5%. Phoenix got 23 points from Stoudamire, who looks like he’s on a mission to prove to anyone and everyone that he is worthy of the max-player contract he’ll be seeking in the offseason.
The Bulls have been up and down all year, and they have to be one of the streakiest teams in the NBA, which is why we’re hesitant to lay with them right now. But they’re getting the edge here as the Suns aren’t that great away from home, and they’re a West Coast team who will be in the midst of an East Coast swing.
Both teams still have something to play for, as the Suns are looking for a better seed in the West, but the Bulls are fighting just to get there.
