Joe’s Pick to Cover the Spread
The games in this Western Conference series between Dallas and Phoenix have been traditionally dominated by one side. The closest outcome came in game 1, with the Suns winning by 7. However, in this crucial game 6, Phoenix enters as just 2-point favorites. So far, Dallas has a completely different defensive team on their home floor, holding the Suns to 94 and 101 points, respectively. I expect this series to come down to a game 7, and recommend taking Dallas +2. Did you know that you could be betting on NBA games at -105 vig instead of -110?
