NBA Playoff Betting: Suns vs Spurs
The Suns are NBA betting underdogs
We’re two games in this series and the Phoenix Suns can all but put away the San Antonio Spurs tonight. Sports Betting has your NBA playoff odds for this exciting NBA Western conference semifinal betting matchup.
The Phoenix Suns are showing NBA playoff betting experts how deep their team really is, with contributions from almost everyone on the roster. The first two games have seen point guard Steve Nash get early rest during the contests, allowing him to be fresher in the fourth quarter than in previous years.
As for the Spurs, they haven’t played that badly. Their customary stingy defense has been a litte looser, but they’ve basically struggled to impose their tempo, getting sucked into full court running all too often. In game 2, the Spurs actually outshot the Suns from the field, giving Spurs betting fans hope that they will rebound at home in game 3.
While this is a 2-7 seed matchup, these two teams finished with very similar records and this series was expected to be long. The Spurs have owned the Suns in the postseason recently, but Phoenix is on their way to changing that this NBA playoff betting year.
Sports Betting has the NBA playoff betting spread at 6.5 points in favor of the Spurs. The basketball wagering total is set at 205.
With the series now shifting to San Antonio, expect the score to come down a little from what we have seen in the first two games, total-wise. But will it be enough to outright take the under? At this point, we would lean that way, but wouldn’t recommend a heavy under wager.
As for the spread, you have to respect the Spurs on their home court. They have veterans who have won it all and who could roar back to take this series. But at this point, it’s hard to go against the team that actually holds the two games to none lead in this NBA Western conference semifinals betting matchup.
We recommend a bet on the Suns with the spread for this game 3 outcome. Sure, the Spurs could pull off a win and climb back into the series. But will they win by seven or more points? That remains to be seen.
Remember, Sports Betting also has your parlay and halftime NBA odds to add even more excitement to the game.
