The Suns are 6-point favorites to pick and roll their way to victory Friday against the Raptors.
Phoenix brings a 48-23 overall mark (8-3 in the division) into this game versus a Toronto team carrying a 26-45 record.
The scorekeepers could be busy in this one, as oddsmakers opened OVER/UNDER betting at 216.5. On the side, the line opened at 6 for the Suns. Toronto is 26-45, while the Suns are 48-23.
Last time out, at Conseco Fieldhouse against Indiana, the Suns as favorites defeated the Pacers 114-104. The game was an over play.
Meanwhile, at Air Canada Centre, the underdog Raptors were losing to the Heat 98-94. The game was an under play.
On the surface, this shapes up as a possible whooping. Toronto can't stop anyone (29th in the league allowing 102.7 points per game) and Phoenix can score with the best of them, rated 1st in scoring. Neither scenario appears to bode well for the Raptors.
Some trends to consider:
Phoenix is 1-5-1 ATS in its last 7 games against Toronto
Phoenix is 1-4-0 ATS in its last 5 away games
Phoenix is 1-4-0 OU in its last 5 games away against Toronto
Phoenix is 2-7-0 OU in its last 9 games against Toronto
Toronto is 5-0-0 ATS in its last 5 games after being 3.5 to 7 point underdogs
Toronto is 5-1-0 SU in its last 6 games after scoring 90 to 100 points
Toronto is 4-1-0 ATS in its last 5 home games
Toronto is 5-1-1 ATS in its last 7 games against Phoenix
