Phoenix / Golden State Under 233.5
For a number of different reasons I believe the value in this matchup is on the "under":
Phoenix (19-11) is 0-6 on the road since a 113-94 win at Toronto on Nov. 29. The first three losses were by an average of 21.3 points while the last three have been by a total of 10.
The Suns have won four straight against the Warriors, including a 123-101 home victory in the teams’ first meeting this season Oct. 30.
That high-scoring contest, though, pales in comparison to Phoenix’s last visit to Oracle Arena. The Suns ended their four-game losing streak in Oakland with a 154-130 victory March 15.
The 284 combined points were the most in the NBA in 2008-09 and the Suns shot 62.1 % and scored 56 fast-break points, the most since 1997, when the league began to track the stat; that being said, I expect both teams to come into this game with that result in the front of their minds and to play with a much more concerted effort on the defensive end this evening.
Keep in mind as well that the total has gone "under" the posted number in six of the Suns last seven on the road overall. They've also seen the total go "under" the posted number in four of their last five vs. division opponents.
On the other side of the court: The Warriors (7-21) have been hampered by injuries and used seven players in a 108-102 loss at New Orleans in their last game Wednesday.
However, this team is about to receive a big boost on the defensive end this evening as Andris Biedrins is set to return to the lineup; the Warriors have been without the big center-man since Nov. 8, when he aggravated a strained back in Sacramento.
Don Nelson says Anthony Randolph and Vladimir Radmanovic will return to being power forwards, Corey Maggette and Anthony Morrow to being small forwards and C.J. Watson to being a guard.
Remember, the total has gone "under" the number in six of the Warriors last nine overall. They've also seen the total go "under" the number in five of seven games after three or more consecutive SU losses.
Bottom line: Too many factors including an inflated line that all point to the UNDER as being the sharp wager today!
7* UNDER

Spartan 12/26
North Carolina / Pittsburgh
Well guys we are really going against the masses here. At last check nearly 80% of the betting public was beating down the door tripping over one another to get down on the Pitt Panthers. I choose to go the other way here and feel very confident in doing so in what amounts to a home game for Butch Davis and his Tar Heels. Here we have a team in Pitt that just loves to run the ball and with good reason as they have a great freshman tailback in Dion Lewis. However, with that said, North Carolina is stout defending the run themselves. Bill Stull is a capable passer in my view but not a guy who will beat the Heels through the air, I feel the Heels will be effective against the Panthers run game. Key factor for us here will be our need for the Heels to score points and take advantage of every opportunity presented. T.J Yates must manage the game and not turn the ball over, it is imperative he be given a reasonable amount of time to conduct his business. Fact is North Carolina prevailed in 4 of it's last 5 games this season and the defense was the key factor, it will need to be once again here. Pitt has absolutely not been a money maker for bettors lately in Bowls going a poor 0-4 against the number the last four times out. North Carolina is a stellar 7-1 when performing as a dog the last 8. I know I'm in the minority here but I am putting my money on North Carolina to give their fans something to cheer about in Charlotte.Take North Carolina.
