5/2 NBA: LA Lakers at Phoenix

[swole]

The Phoenix Suns will be looking to avoid elimination tonight when they get set to host Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers tonight for Game 5.

The Suns are favored, opening as 6-point chalk, with an opening total of 204. They are 54-28 this season and 43-37-2 OU. The Lakers are 45-37 and are 35-32 OU.

Los Angeles won at home against the Suns last game as 1-point underdogs, tallying a score of 99-98. The total sailed under.

Expect the league's #1 offence to chuck in lots of points and generate trouble for the Lakers defence. Averaging 108.4 points per game, the Suns can run up the score if they get on a roll.

Some trends to consider:
Los Angeles are 1-7-0 OU in its last 8 away
Los Angeles are 1-5-0 OU in its last 6 games
Los Angeles are 1-4-0 OU in its last 5 games away against Phoenix
Los Angeles are 4-1-0 ATS in its last 5 games after being .5 to 3 point underdogs
Phoenix is 20-6-0 SU in its last 26 games after scoring 90 to 100 points
Phoenix is 5-2-0 SU in its last 7 games after being .5 to 3 point favorites
Phoenix is 5-2-0 ATS in its last 7 games after being .5 to 3 point favorites
Phoenix is 1-4-0 ATS in its last 5 games
