Lakers were 8-17/9-16 from arc in first two wins, 9-32/9-28/7-24 in last three games; Artest's putback of airball (just his second hoop in 31:08 of play) bailed LA out, set up elimination game here. Lakers scored 106 pg in last three games, after scoring 128-124 in first two. Fisher was huge with 22 points in Game 5. Suns were +10 with Frye on court in Game 5; but bench was just 9-23. Nash had 29 points, 11 boards playing with a broken nose. Phoenix is 40-123 from arc in series; they'll need more than 11:24 of scoreless ball from Lopez to extend series to seven games. This series has taken form of LA-Oklahoma City series, which LA won in 6.

Stanley Cup finals
Flyers haven't won Stanley Cup since I was in 10th grade ('75), Chicago since '61, so emotions will run high, especially since teams are rested for this. Blackhawks won eight of last nine games since losing in opener of Vancouver series; they're just 5-3 at home in playoffs. Philly won seven of last eight games; they're 4-4 on road in playoffs. Flyers are in Finals after not even making playoffs until last day of regular season. Chicago lost first game in two of three playoff series this spring; Flyers won first game in two of their three series.

Los Angeles Lakers at Phoenix Suns [TNT | 8:30 PM ET]

Lakers: Los Angeles is 1 win away from a return trip to the NBA Finals. The Lakers had to dig deep, as the Suns refused to give up in Game 5. Los Angeles played a far better defensive game, as they were able to slow down the pace of play to their desire. The Lakers held the Suns to only 101 PTS and only 46% shooting for the game. The Lakers were led by G Kobe Bryant as he had a game high 30 PTS. However, Bryant was rather inefficient, as he attempted 27 shots to get those 30 PTS. Los Angeles only shot 41% for the game, yet still came out victorious. F Pau Gasol had another solid game, as he had 21 PTS and 9 rebounds for Los Angeles. The unsung hero for the Lakers in Game 5 was Derek Fisher. Time and time again Fisher steps up in games with the highest stakes. Fisher had 22 PTS, including 2 three pointers in Game 5. The Lakers are 68-29 SU and 41-52-3 ATS overall this season. Los Angeles is 26-22 SU and 21-26-1 ATS in road games this year. The Lakers are 3-8 ATS as a road underdog of 3 PTS or fewer this season. Los Angeles is 7-9 ATS this season as the listed underdog overall.

Lakers are 7-3 ATS last 10 playoff games as an underdog.
Over is 8-0-1 last 9 games against a team with a winning percentage above .600%.

Key Injuries - None.

PROJECTED SCORE: 104

Suns (-1.5, O/U 215.5): When Phoenix suits up tonight at home, they will be facing elimination for the 1st time this post-season. Phoenix lost a heartbreaking Game 5, losing 103-101 on a Ron Artest buzzer beater. Phoenix really showed some grit and heart, as they were down double figures for the majority of the game. PG Steve Nash was the only Suns player to score 20 PTS or more, as he had a team high 29. Nash also had 11 assists in Game 5 with only 2 turnovers. C Robin Lopez came back to earth, as failed to score in just 11 minutes of play. C Channing Frye stepped up in place of Lopez, as he had 14 PTS and 10 rebounds. The Suns attempted 6 more free throws than the Lakers did in Game 5. Phoenix is 64-33 SU and 58-37-1 ATS overall this season. The Suns are 38-10 SU and 30-16-2 ATS in home games this year. In an odd but useful trend, the Suns are only 2-8 ATS this year in games played on Saturday. Phoenix is 5-2 ATS as home favorite of 3 PTS or fewer this season.

Suns are 4-0 ATS last 4 home games against a team with a winning road record.
Over is 4-0 last 4 Conference Finals games.

Key Injuries - None.

PROJECTED SCORE: 112 (Side of the Day)

Lady Luck: Today's WNBA best bets
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chicago Sky at Minnesota Lynx (-2.5, 162.5)

The Sky and Lynx can take comfort that at least one team will pick up its second win of the season when these two basement teams meet in Minny Saturday.

Chicago and Minnesota are both off to slow 1-4 starts, however, the Sky are coming off a big win over the Seattle Storm Thursday, handing the Storm their first defeat of the 2010 season with an 84-75 victory as 2-point home underdogs.

Sylvia Fowles led the way with 19 points for Chicago while Cathrine Kraayeveld netted 12 of her 14 points in the second half.

"That's the beauty of our team, we've got players that can come off the bench and give us a lot of spark," Fowles told reporters. "They came out with a lot of energy and kept the lead up. You can't ask for more than that."

The Lynx, on the other hand, are coming off a 105-79 beating from the Connecticut Sun. Minnesota is still without stars Candace Wiggins (questionable for Saturday) and Simone Augustus (out until June).

Pick: Chicago


Indiana Fever at Tulsa Shock (+4.5, 154)

In the whacky world of the WNBA, you’ve got to pull the trigger quickly with only 34 games on the schedule. That sometimes means trading players on a whim – to teams you play this week.

The Shock did that very same move, sending talented second-year guard Shavonte Zellous to the Fever for a second-round pick in next year’s WNBA Draft. Zellous was outstanding for the Shock (when the franchise was in Detroit) last season, averaging almost 12 points in her rookie season. This year, she’s scoring just four points per game but should get a lot of floor time in a thin Indiana backcourt.

Zellous should also bring an inside edge against her former team. Not only does she know each player inside and out but she also knows the Shocks' offensive and defensive schemes. Women’s hoops fans should expect an informed Fever team to be one step ahead of Tulsa Saturday.

Pick: Indiana
