The Portland Trailblazers got the game they needed in Phoenix to come home with the series tied at a game apiece. They really took it on the chin in game two, losing to the Suns by 29 points, but that just sets the stage for games three, swinging the value over to the Blazers. Teams that take huge playoff losses have come back to a resounding bang in the following game. Without getting specific, this sets up a situation that has cashed close to 65% of the time and will be active here on Portland in game three. The Suns know one way to play and that is fast and offensive, and it has led to some biased results regarding totals, playoffs or not. The Suns over their last 30+ games with a total set at under 210, have cashed close to 75% of them to the OVER, and I expect nothing different here in this one. I like Portland and the OVER here.
