2009 NCAA Tournament Betting Tips

Warriors vs. Suns NBA Preview (Feb. 6)

Suns Not Hot At Home

The Suns are 26-21 on the year, but they’re one of the rare NBA teams where their record is similar at home (13-10) and away (13-11). Phoenix has also been awful from a betting perspective at home, where their 7-16 ATS mark is one of the worst in the league.
