Portland-Phoenix NBA - NBA 08/09 Prediction

Portland-Phoenix
27.03 03:30
Both teams have injury concerns before this clash, Portland still haven't secured the playoffs while Phoenix is a few games behind the 8th spot in the West and will fight with the Blazers and Mavs for the post-season matches. These two teams met three times this year, and every time the home team won (Suns twice, Blazers once) and the last time they played Roy had a career high 52 pts. Today Roy is a bit under weather due to ankle injury which limited him to only 12 pts and bad shooting from the field in the last Blazers' match which they lost to Philly after OT. Another important player for Portland is questionable for tonight and that's Travis Outlaw, a guy who's shown really nice form this season. Przybilla replaced Oden in the place of starting center and he did it pretty good, still he played a poor match against Philly and seems like his form in a slight downtrend. Suns have two really important guys missing, Stoudemire and Barbosa are both out but the rest of the team is fit and IMO is good enough to keep up with the Blazers for the whole game. I don't know why the books made Phoenix such heavy underdogs when in reality these two sides are totally equal, even with these injuries the Suns have a certain advantage at some positions and when we know how hard the Suns have to fight in order to record a win whenever possible, a bet on them is just a must for me. Insane odds worth high staking.
Tip: Phoenix, Odds 3.5
