Suns @ Lakers – Game 5 Conference Finals Picks Against The Spread

Congratulations again to all our members on another HUGE CASH in the 2010 NBA Playoffs as we gave our members the Magic -3.5 last night.  And as you probably witnessed…it wasn’t even close.  Winning sure solves a lot of problems.  Tonight our members will get the spread winner of Game 5 inthe Western Conference Finals as the Phoenix Suns travel back to LA to take on the Lakers.  Las Vegas sportsbooks have the Lakers favored by 7.5 with a total of 217.  THIS LINE IS DEAD WRONG!

The Suns bounced back from a pair of losses in Tinseltown to even their series with the Lakers by winning Games 3 and 4 at home.  Now Los Angeles (41-52-3 against the spread) will try and take the lead in this series by winning at home against Phoenix (58-37-1 Against The Spread).

The Suns got huge production from its bench in the second and fourth quarters of Game 4 (54 points) to beat L.A., 115-106, as a 1-point home underdog.  Another FiveStarPick.com cash.

Coming into Game 4, Channing Frye was in a major shooting slump, but caught fire in the second quarter to put Phoenix up 9 at the half. Frye finished with 14 points, as he drained four 3-pointers from beyond the arc.  For the game, the Phoenix bench made 20-of-32 shots and 9-of-20 from 3-land. Leandro Barbosa added 14 points, while Jared Dudley scored 11. Amare Stoudemire had 21 points and eight rebounds and Steve Nash, playing with a broken nose, produced 15 points, eight assists and four boards.

Phil Jackson seemed a bit concerned in his press conference after Game 4 mentioning that even with Kobe Bryant scoring 38 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds, the Lakers still could not overcome the determination of the Suns. Lamar Odom, who was marvelous in Games 1 and 2 before throwing up a brick in Game 3, added 15 points and 10 boards in his 35 minutes off the bench.  Andrew Bynum was a non-factor.

The Suns failed to cover the number in both Games 1 and 2 in L.A. However, they are 27-21 Against The Spread on the road this season.  Having said that, the Lakers have won eight straight Game 5’s dating back to 2007.

Tip-off for Game 5 is slated for 9:00 p.m. Eastern on TNT.
