The Phoenix Suns have played fairly well at 12-10, but in the rugged Western Conference it will be a struggle for this team to make the playoffs. They are off a 5-point loss in Houston, followed by a tough loss in LA against the Clippers in overtime. They now have to try and pick up the pieces at home, on no rest, and with a hard to swallow 1 point OT loss in their back pockets. Miami is obviously not the same team as the previous four years with LeBron having moved on, and they are on a four game losing streak, and are now just 9-11 on the season. The good news is that Dwayne Wade is healthy again and has scored 20+ in all of his last five games. The Suns have been vulnerable after their five starters logged 160+ minutes in their last game, as they are 2-6 ATS in their last eight, and this time it is off a painful overtime loss with no rest. This is a tough spot for the Suns, so make the play on Miami.
