Over\/Under<\/strong>: 202<\/p>\nPhoenix grabbed a 3-2 series lead with Monday\u2019s 107-88 win over Portland. When the Suns have won, they\u2019ve won big, defeating the Blazers by 29, 19 and 19 points in their series victories.<\/p>\n
The most recent win improved Phoenix to 7-3 in its last 10 games, both straight up and against the spread. The Suns are just 5-5 in their last 10 games against the spread when playing on the road.<\/p>\n
The Suns got help from a few unexpected places in Game 5. Channing Frye and Jared Dudley stepped up with big games off the bench, as they scored 20 and 19 points, respectively.<\/p>\n
Frye also hauled in eight boards. Amare Stoudemire paced the starters with 19 points, while Steve Nash recording his third double-double of the series with 14 points and 10 assists.<\/p>\n
Phoenix also did an impressive job out-working Portland on the glass, as the Suns finished with a 41-29 rebounding advantage.<\/p>\n
The Game 5 loss dropped Portland to 5-5 in its last 10 games. The Trailblazers have been pretty underwhelming on NBA odds, too, going 4-6 against the spread in their last 10 games.<\/p>\n
Returning home to the Rose Garden probably won\u2019t offer much of an advantage, at least not at the sportsbook\u2014Portland has covered just five of its last 10 outings at home. ![\"Online](\"http:\/\/affiliates.commissionaccount.com\/processing\/impressions.asp?btag=a_3953b_41\")

Many Portland fans hailed Brandon Roy as a saviour when he made his miraculous return from knee surgery, but that\u2019s rather unfair to the All-Star. He didn\u2019t play very well in Game 5, which is more than understandable; Roy scored just five points on 2-7 shooting in 19 minutes of action.<\/p>\n
Andre Miller led the Blazers with 21 points, while Jerryd Bayless scored 17.<\/p>\n
LeMarcus Aldridge failed to follow up his huge Game 4 performance and managed just 17 points and four rebounds.<\/p>\n
