ATS - SUNS +3.5 (x1) LOSS
The Suns are making an almighty charge for that 8th seed in the West winning their past 3 in a row on the back of an energised Steve Nash and Gortat! This team has confidence and belief right now and that is huge in this game. The Nuggets, returning home from a long road trip and coming off a tough loss the Hornets, is fair to say is a little less confident, and with Galinaro and Chandler still out may find the fired up suns a little tough to contain here in their first game home.
I like the Suns to win here tonight or at very least keep this one close

Houston Rockets At Los Angeles Lakers
1st H - LAKERS -3 (x2) WIN

Bynum has taken his game to the next level and is quickly becoming the go to man in LA! The choice of sticking with Gasol and picking up Sessions has been a masterstroke so far. Gasol is the perfect teammate and a great role player who can step up on any given night and give you 25 & 10. Sessions has been the young spark this team needed. He has involved LA's big's alot more and is giving Kobe a nice cut out when required on offense.
While the Rockets have been solid with a 29-25 record, they haven't fared so well on the road, just 9-17. Facing the Lakers at Staples is just about as tough as it gets as they are 23-5 on their home floor. With Lowry and Martin still out I think tonight will be too big a task for Houston. LA have been sensational in the opening halves of most matches, it's been finishing that's been their main concern. With that said I like the Lakers to come out strong again here early and have this game in control at the half.
