Back-to-Back
The Lakers were home against Detroit last night so they are in a back-to-back on Wednesday. That is not all bad news though as the Lakers have been pretty good playing on no rest. In fact, the Lakers are good on both ends of the back-to-back. Before last night against Detroit the Lakers were 4-2 in the first game and 5-1 in the second game. The Lakers are 7-3 ATS in their last ten games with no rest.
Phoenix Flameout
The Suns have been a major disappointment this season. They still have Steve Nash but the Suns are not winning. They have been very poor at home against the spread this season. Phoenix plays no defense and now they have to deal with having Vince Carter on the team. It is a bad situation in Arizona.
