This play is not as strong as last nights winner but deserves some attention.
5* UCLA -2 first Half.
This spread is heading in Zaga's favor so time well.
I believe UCLA's backcourt will dominate play for the first half and Morrison will be kept in check during this time- If he breaks out -it will be in the second half.
--GONZAGA is 2-10 against the 1st half line in road games versus good defensive teams - allowing <=64 points/game over the last 3 seasons.
The average score was GONZAGA 33.7, OPPONENT 37.8 - (Rating = 1*)
--UCLA is 10-2 against the 1st half line when playing against a top-level team (Win Pct. > 80%) over the last 2 seasons.
The average score was UCLA 36.5, OPPONENT 35.3 - (Rating = 1*)

2* Phoenix Suns -8 (lines not up) 1st Half
Phoenix has dropped 2 games and will be hungry. Coach is pissed with the Suns for the second half laydown against Utah. They will come out hustling for the game tonight.
Amare S. will show up for brief spells but probably when the game is fully in hand. Will Phoenix cover 16 points in the game-don't think that is a good bet- mainly because Portland has a good ATS record on 3-4 days rest (last played on the 20th) and Amare needs some time on the court as part of rehab.
