NBA Wagering – Phoenix Suns at Washington Wizards
Our Sportsbooks: While the Boston Celtics and San Antonio Spurs, have gotten the lion’s share of the national media attention coming out of the NBA in the early going of the 2007-08 season, the Phoenix Suns have quietly gone about their stated business of reaching the NBA Finals without nearly as much fanfare as the team has become accustomed to the past three seasons.
Nevertheless, the Suns, (15-4 SU, 9-10 ATS, 11-8 O/U), are absolutely on fire at the moment and enter this matchup coming off their highest offensive output of the season Wednesday night as they beat the Toronto Raptors 136-123 while watching seven players reach double figures in scoring.
Power forward Amare Stoudemire is looking mire and more like the unstoppable player he was developing into just a couple of seasons ago before undergoing microfracture surgery.
Stoudemire’s 21.1 points per game lead the Suns and their five players who average at least 15.7 points per game.
The Washington Wizards, (9-9 SU, 11-7 ATS, 11-7 O/U), are only a mediocre 9-9 at this point of the young season, but if there’s one thing the Wizards can do, it’s score the basketball.
Washington has scored at least 100 points in 11 of its last 13 games despite playing most of those games without their best scorer, Gilbert Arenas who will be out of the Wizards; lineup until at least February.
The Wizards are 9-3 this season when they score at least 100 points and come into this contest off a solid 105-86 victory over the LeBron James-less Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday.
The teams split games last season with Washington winning an overtime thriller 144-139 in Phoenix last season, but losing at home badly, 127-105.
All-star forward Caron Butler is averaging 23.2 points per game on a blistering 53 percent shooting from the field, both career highs. Washington also gets 21.6 points per game from their other all-star forward Antawn Jamison but not much else after those two as no other player on the roster averages double figures in scoring besides the injured Arenas.
Here is a look at tonight’s key trends, followed by my analysis and Free NBA Betting picks:
Key Suns Trends
The Suns are 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 games following a ATS win.
The Suns are 1-4 ATS in their last five when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game.
The Suns are 1-6 ATS in their last seven Friday games.
Key Wizards Trends
The Wizards are 5-1 ATS in their last six games following a SU win of more than ten points.
The Wizards are 5-1 ATS in their last six home games.
The Wizards are 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall.
Key Totals Trends
The Over is 4-0 in Suns last four games following a S.U. win.
The Over is 4-0 in Suns last four overall.
The Over is 5-0 in Wizards last five home games.
The Over is 6-0 in Wizards last six vs. Western Conference.
Key Head-to-Head Trends
The Over is 9-4 in the last 13 meetings.
The Suns are 2-5 ATS in the last seven meetings in Washington.
The Road team is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings.
Analysis: This matchup is going to likely turn into a track meet with absolutely no defense whatsoever being played by either team. Although I think the 7.5-point line may look a bit scary, I say take the Suns to cover while basically overwhelming the undermanned and defensively challenged Wizards.
