Phoenix at Dallas

The Phoenix Suns are no longer the run-and-gun club we have witnessed the past several seasons. The problem is that they have forgotten to play defense any better than they did when running. The Suns are still allowing 100 points per game over their last six despite holding a struggling Boston team to 71 in their last contest. Dallas has struggled to score on the road where they are averaging less than 87 ppg, but have certainly been much more efficient at home where they put up nearly 98 ppg - a full 10 points more. They managed that 98 point average vs. the Suns in the first meeting this season and are likely to exceed it here as the Suns defense has been lacking. The Suns have gone four straight to the OVER after holding an opponent to 75 points or less in their last game. Play the OVER in this one.
