Blazers vs Suns
Play on: UNDER 231 -110

The Trail Blazers aren't going to look to run with the Suns after last night's overtime game against the Wizards. It's also Portland's third game in four days. The Suns are a terrible defensive team, but they have held four of their last eight opponents to 106 points or less, including limiting the Mavericks to 98 points during their last game. This has been an under series, too, recently with six of the past eight going below the total.

Suns +1½ -105 at 5Dimes

Portland is in a terrible situational and scheduling spot for tonight’s game in Phoenix. The Trail Blazers have played back-to-back overtime games, including last night at home against the Washington Wizards. The Trail Blazers blew a 21-point halftime lead in that game and lost 125-124 despite shooting 51.1% (48-94) from the field and 50% (16-32) from three-point land. Portland had seven players log 25 minutes or more, including five guys logging 33 minutes or more. In their previous overtime game against Philadelphia, the Trail Blazers had four of their five starters play 38 minutes or more while six players overall logged 24 minutes or more. Portland will now hit the road while playing on a back-to-back set after two consecutive draining games.

Phoenix also played last night, but they got a confidence-building win at Dallas in a 100-98 final. The Suns will now return home, and they are catching points against a tired and deflated Portland team. Phoenix has a good offense that can take advantage of Portland’s tired defense. The Suns are averaging 107.7 points per game on 45.3% shooting from the field and 34.2% shooting from three-point land. That offense will face a Portland defense that is giving up 110.6 points per game on 45.6% shooting from the field and 38.1% shooting from three-point land. We’ll take the points with Phoenix in this game on Sunday night.

10* Play SUNS (+).

This is a 10* play on the Houston Rockets.

The Cavs ended a three game losing streak with a 116-104 win over the Magic in Orlando Saturday, and they will travel West to play the Rockets in Houston Sunday. The Cavs have been careful with LeBron James in these back to back situations this season, and that's one reason why they are 1-5 ATS in their last six in the second game in as many nights. While LeBron is likely to play tonight, his minutes could be limited, and if the game gets out of hand the starters could get yanked early. Kyle Korver is out with a foot injury, and Kevin Love is still recovering from surgery. Cleveland hasn't had a lot of success in previous trips to Houston, failing to cover in 10 of their last 11. The Rockets have 45 wins this season, two more than the Cavs. This looks like a tough spot for a Cleveland team with not a lot to prove at this point.

Take HOU.

GL,

Cleveland at Houston 9:00 ET

Cavaliers (+) over Rockets- Believe it or not the Houston Rockets have a better record then the Cavaliers as the defensing champs have dropped five of their last seven. Houston unlike other NBA clubs does not 'rest' players and the run the floor end to end every night out. Cleveland who is 3-7 on the road against the West is just 1-10 ATS in their last 11 trips to Houston but in this contest the Cavaliers have a little more incentive. Take CLEVELAND!
