Phoenix Suns at Oklahoma City Thunder [8:00 PM ET]

Suns: Phoenix continues their improbable run up the playoff standings in the Western Conference. The Suns were considering breaking up their roster at the All-Star break, yet here they are tied for 2nd in the Western Conference. Phoenix has won 11 of their past 12 games SU entering tonight. Phoenix is 51-27 SU and 45-32-1 ATS overall this season. The Suns are 21-18 SU and 22-17 ATS away from home this season. The Suns are 6-4 ATS in their past 10 games as the listed underdog this season. Phoenix keeps winning thanks to the most prolific offense in the NBA. The Suns are the only team in the NBA that average 110 PPG or more this season. Phoenix leads the NBA in a number of offensive categories including: FG%, 3PT FG%, and of course PPG. F Amar'e Stoudemire has been amazing this season, averaging team highs of 23 PPG and 8.8 RPG. Stoudemire has been so efficient this season in his scoring production, shooting better than 55% from the field this year. Credit PG Steve Nash, as he's the floor general for this prolific offense. Nash is averaging 16.6 PPG and an NBA high 11 APG this season.

Suns are 9-2 ATS last 11 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.
Under is 13-6 last 19 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Key Injuries - C Robin Lopez (back) is out.

PROJECTED SCORE: 114

Thunder (-3.5, O/U 221): Oklahoma City could be starting to feel the pressure of the upcoming NBA Playoffs. The Thunder have lost their past 2 games SU, both in agonizing fashion. The Thunder have lost 2 close games to conference rivals Utah and Denver, showing their youth down the stretch. The Thunder are currently 48-30 SU and 46-32 ATS overall this season. Oklahoma City is in 8th place right now in the Western Conference, and would face the Lakers in the 1st Round if the playoffs started today. The Thunder could still move up in the standings though, as they are tied with both San Antonio and Portland heading into the final few games of the regular season. The Thunder are 25-14 SU and 20-19 ATS in home games this season. Oklahoma City has actually lost their past 3 home games ATS entering tonight's contest. The Thunder were held under 109 PTS offensively for the first time in 5 contests. The Thunder average 101.3 PPG this season, and are led by the F Kevin Durant. Durant leads the NBA in scoring, averaging exactly 30 PPG this season.
.

Thunder are 11-4 ATS last 15 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.
Over is 5-1 last 6 overall.

Key Injuries - None.

PROJECTED SCORE: 116 (OVER - Total of the Day)



Dallas Mavericks at Portland Trail Blazers [10:00 PM ET]

Mavericks: Dallas continues to prove that they are a force to reckon with, as everyone in the Dallas organization expects to contend for the NBA Championship. Dallas is trying to lock up the #2 seed in the Western Conference, as they would like to avoid playing the Lakers until the Western Conference Finals. Since their mid-season trade, Dallas is playing with a ton of confidence knowing they match up well with any team in the NBA. Dallas is 51-27 SU and 33-44-1 ATS overall this season. The Mavericks have proved how great of a team they are by their road record of 24-14 SU this season. The Mavericks are also 23-15 ATS on the road this season. Dallas is 11-10 ATS as the listed underdog this season, despite losing their past 2 contests SU in this scenario. The most surprising factor of this game is the revenge factor for Dallas. The Mavericks have lost all 3 meetings with Portland this season, both SU and ATS. Revenge will clearly be on the minds of Dallas, despite the fact they are only 10-15 ATS in this revenge mode this year. F Dirk Nowitzki leads the Mavericks in scoring at 24.7 PPG, which places him 7th in the NBA.

Mavs are 7-2 ATS last 9 road games.
Under is 6-1 last 7 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game.

Key Injuries - F Shawn Marion (oblique) is questionable.
F Tim Thomas (personal) is out.

PROJECTED SCORE: 96 (Side of the Day)

Trail Blazers (-4, O/U 191.5): Portland has a way of flying under the radar, despite the fact they might be playing their very best basketball of the season right now. Portland has won 8 of their past 10 games SU, as they attempt to climb up the Western Conference playoff standings. Portland is 48-30 SU and 42-34-2 ATS overall this season. The Blazers are battling 2 other teams for the final 3 spots in the West. The Blazers are 25-13 SU and 19-19 ATS in home games this season. The Blazers are 28-20 ATS as the listed favorite this season, including 3-3 ATS as a home favorite between 3.5 and 6 PTS. Portland plays their best basketball against bad defenses, going 14-7 ATS against teams that allow more than 99 PPG this season. The Blazers have played 5 of their last 6 games away from home, so they will be happy to play in front of the best home crowd in the NBA. G Brandon Roy has been brilliant this season in leading the Blazers with 22 PPG. Roy has no weakness in his game, and is the player Portland depends on in the 4th quarter. F LaMarcus Aldridge is also having a good year, averaging 17.7 PPG and a team high 8.1 RPG this season.

Blazers are 6-0 ATS last 6 vs. NBA Southwest.
Under is 6-0 last 6 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

Key Injuries - C Marcus Camby (hamstring) is questionable.

PROJECTED SCORE: 94

Friday six-pack

-- Thursday was first time Eldrick Woods ever broke 70 in first round of The Masters, even though he's won the tournament four times.

-- Florida Marlins made a profit of $46.1M last season.

-- Vernon Wells is 6-10 with four HRs in his first three games.

-- I'm surprised Ichiro Suzuki hasn't challenged Joe Dimaggio's 56-game hitting streak, especially back when he was a lot faster than he is now.

-- In 1997-98, Mookie Blaylock was 90-334 behind arc (26.9%), worst percentage ever in a season for someone with 300+ 3-point attempts.

-- A's have 1.5-game lead in AL West; their magic number is 158.

Friday's List of 13: Random thoughts on first Friday of baseball.....

13) After laying off from golf for 144 tumultuous days, Eldrick Woods hit the ground running at Augusta Thursday, shooting 4-under 68, first time he's ever broken 70 in first round of a tourney he's won four times.

12) I'm in a fantasy golf pool with 25 other people, where you can only use a guy once a year; guess I'm surprised none of us took Woods to win this week. Thought someone might take a shot.

11) Senior QB Nick Stephens quit the Tennessee football team because he wanted to transfer to a school where he knew he would play in his senior season, leaving Vols with a JC transfer and a freshman at QB this fall.

10) Fred Hill survived another losing season as Rutgers' basketball coach, but couldn't survive the offseason; he is getting canned after getting into a profanity-laced argument with Pitt's baseball coach (Hill's father is the baseball coach at Rutgers) last week. Rutgers-Oregon-Clemson and Wake Forest are the four highest-profile coaching jobs that are open now.

9) Of the 28 ACC/Big East hoop teams, six changed coaches so far in this offseason; of the other 45 BCS schools, only three changed coaches.

8) Forbes Magazine lists Bronx Bombers as having net worth of $1.6B, or $760M more than the next best team. Pirates are worth $289M, worst in major leagues, with A's just ahead of them at $295M.

7) Also according to Forbes, only two major league teams lost money LY, Arizona ($600,000) and the Detroit Tigers, who somehow lost $29.5M.

6) In 59 career rounds at The Masters, Eldrick Woods is +15 on the 1st hole and +10 on the 4th hole. Still, he's won the tournament four times.

5) Only two golfers birdied the 505-yard, par-4 11th hole Thursday, but three players eagled the par-5 15th.

4) Good start by Detroit's Dontrelle Willis Thursday, giving up only two runs in six innings at the Tigers won late in Kansas City, 7-3.

3) Tampa Bay's Jeff Niemann got drilled by a line drive in second inning of his start vs Baltimore and left after throwing only 12 pitches. He's not expected to miss his next start, though.

2) Brett Anderson allowed only four baserunners in six innings as the A's beat Seattle 6-2, taking three of four in the first series of the year.

1) 3-0 Giants are the only unbeaten team left in baseball.
