Rotoworld Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans the Suns as a live-bet:
“Portland is on a 0-5 ATS streak as the market started to over rate this team. Phoenix on the other hand is 4-2 ATS in the past six games and climbed above .500 with an 8-6 record. My pre-tip pick for this would be the Suns, but there would be live betting opportunities to get a better number than the +2.5 or +3’s being offered.”
