This is a 10* on OVER

Christmas Day seemed to be full of surprising results, none more so than Golden State's upset of Houston. The Warriors were double digit dogs in earning their third straight win and cover. Winning streaks of that nature were commonplace for this team that last several years, but that upset of the Rockets was just the eighth win for this edition of Golden State basketball. Injuries have wiped out what was once the premier team in the league. But they're obviously still fighting. Not sure if you can say the same for the Suns though and that's too bad. Phoenix spent the last several years occupying the space Golden State is currently inhabiting. A 7-4 start to this season seemed to show there was some promise on the horizon, but since then the Suns record is a lousy 4-15 and they've lost a season-high seven straight. Coming off the big win on Christmas, we don't want to touch the Warriors here. Nor do we want any part of the Suns. But with the teams allowing 115.5 and 113.0 points per game, we do like the Over. Phoenix is 8-5 Over as a favorite. Golden State allows more than 120 points per game against division opponents. Play OVER Phoenix-Golden State
