NBA: Friday's plays

Play: Phoenix +3 -110

Time: 8 p.m. ET

TV: ESPN

Resoning: The Suns are 15-17 on the road and Brooklyn is 11-16 at home. Phoenix is averaging 105.6 ppg and is coming off of a 105-100 victory at Orlando. In that one newcomer Brandon Knight scored 28, Markieff Morris pitched in 23 and P.J. Tucker scored 19 to finish in double figures for the eighth time in nine games. The Nets lost their last game at home to Charlotte, 115-91, and Joe Johnson, Brook Lopez and Jarrett Jack went a combined 7-for-26 from the floor. As a team Booklyn shot just 39.8%. The Suns are much better on threes, at the line, have a deeper bench and have advantages on the offensive glass and in the steals and blocks departments.


Play: New Orleans -7 -105

Time: 8 p.m. ET

Reasoning: The Pelicans have Anthony Davis back and all he did in his first try back was contribute 39 points, 13 rebounds, eight blocks and three steals in the win over Detroit on Wednesday. New Orleans is 21-10 SU (19-12 ATS) at home. Boston is 9-19 on the road. The Celtics will be without Avery Bradley (shoulder) and his 13.9 ppg for this one. The Pelicans went 4-1 without Davis when he was recovering from a shoulder injury. New Orleans is 9-3 at home vs. Eastern Conference opponents. The Pelicans are much better on threes and blocks, they commit fewer turnovers and have advantages at line and on the boards.




Record: 304-224-11 (57.6%)
Bankroll: +289.19%
