Over\/Under<\/strong>: 202<\/p>\nPhoenix is rolling. The Suns are 16-5 in their past 21 games, and they\u2019ve been an extremely tough out at the sportsbook, too\u2014the Suns are 7-3 in their last 10 games against the spread. Phoenix faces another two straight games in Portland, which shouldn\u2019t faze the team; the Suns are 6-4 in their last 10 road games against the spread. <\/p>\n
The Suns are making it look easy. They never trailed in Game 3 and led by as much as 31 points. Jason Richardson really outdid himself; after scoring 29 pints in Game 2, he followed it up with a 42-point explosion on Thursday night. Steve Nash posted yet another double-double with 13 points and 10 assists. <\/p>\n
Amare Stoudemire had another ho-hum night, scoring 20 points\u2014his most in the series thus far. <\/p>\n
The Trailblazers look like they\u2019re near the end of the line. Portland is just 5-5 in its last 10 games, not to mention three losses in its last four outings. ![\"Online](\"http:\/\/affiliates.commissionaccount.com\/processing\/impressions.asp?btag=a_3953b_41\")
<\/p>\n
They\u2019ve been crushed in two straight games, and sports betting fans can\u2019t trust the Blazers at all, as they\u2019ve covered just four times in their last 10 outings. Home-court advantage is a lost cause, too, as Portland is 5-5 against the spread in its last 10 home games.
\nLaMarcus Aldridge led Portland with 17 points, but the Blazers simply didn\u2019t have it offensively. <\/p>\n
A better effort from the free throw line might make a difference; they missed plenty of opportunities by going just 16-28 from the charity stripe. Portland must also do a better job of defending Richardson; he buried eight three-pointers. <\/p>\n
That\u2019s a tall order, though, as the Blazers are justifiably occupied with Nash and Stoudemire on \u201cD.\u201d <\/p>\n
Suns vs. Blazers Free NBA Playoff Pick<\/strong><\/p>\nWithout Brandon Roy, this looks like a lost season for Portland. Perhaps more importantly, it\u2019s looking like a special season for Phoenix. <\/p>\n
The Nash and the Suns have been on the cusp for years\u2014is this their season to break through? Perhaps\u2026 but they\u2019ll definitely break through again in Game 4. <\/p>\n
