Phoenix lost the top spot to Golden State primarily due to star guard Devin Booker suffering a hamstring injury during the opening round to the Pelicans. However, Booker is back in the fold, and all Phoenix has done is drill Dallas by a combined 27 points in the first two games of the second round.

The Suns clocked out of the regular season with the best overall record (64-18) and average scoring margin per game (+7.2). Their 55.6% cover rate (50-40 ATS) is the fifth-best mark in the NBA as they continue their postseason run.

The only sportsbook to not list Phoenix the favorite is PointsBet, which prices the Warriors (+275) the team to beat, followed by the Celtics (+350), then Suns (+450).

Golden State has made the biggest jump since the playoffs started, climbing from +1000 to a peak of +275. Although the Warriors are knotted up with the Grizzlies 1-1, Golden State is six-point chalk for Game 3 on Saturday (check real-time NBA odds here).

It’s likely do-or-die for both the 76ers and Mavericks in the bottom of the field. They’re both down 2-0 in their respective series and are pick’ems in Game 3.
