Suns pk 3.5 Dime Play
Marshall -2 3-Dime NCAAB POD
Here we go with the Suns over the Lakers. The Suns have lost twice to the Lakers this year in LA in poor fashion. Here they get their revenge with Ron Artest injured and Kobe not 100%. I thinkt hey win this game regardless of those injuries and when you have the Suns who are 11-2 at home and 15-7 ATS in their last 22 home games I think we got great value.
We had the Kings over the Lakers on Saturday when the Lakers won in 2 OT by 9 unfortunately we had some bad luck with having the Kings +7. I'm more confident here as the Suns are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 after giving up 125 + points in their last game. The Suns are 6-0 after a loss on the road followed up by a home game.
Marshall
Marshall took care of Troy easily just a little while ago and while Troy will have revenge at home as an underdog I think they are just out matched in this game. On the road they were out rebounded by 13 and shot 41% from the field. Troy just gave up 70% shooting from three to New Orleans a team that is just god awful ranked #322 in the RPI and has a terrible strength of schedule. I don't see how they are supposed to play against Marshall and play better. Marshall has a slightly stronger schedule but is ranked 124 points higher in the RPI. Marshall is 5-1 straight up on 3 or more days off. While Troy is 1-3. Troy has not played since the 17th, while Marshall played the 22nd. The long time off should hurt both teams, but it will hurt Troy more here on Monday.

The Duke's Sports
Phoenix (pick) for 2 Units
Good spot for Phoenix to get untracked after dropping last two at home; reason being, they get Barbosa back tonight. He was a key cog in the Suns hot start however, Phoenix went just 4-8 SU without him. And keep in mind the Lakers' goofy but talented Artest was instrumental in helping Los Angeles beat Phoenix November 12. He shouldn't play tonight after sustaining an elbow and head injury after falling down a flight of steps. The Suns are still 15-7 ATS at home and the home team in this series has gone 4-0 SU/ATS. With the Lakers a little banged up and playing in their 3rd game in as many days, 2-5 ATS followng a SU win, and 0-4 ATS on Mondays, we'll ride the Suns here, who are 5-1 ATS off a SU loss.
