JARED QUAY: And finally in the nightcap, we've got one of the biggest series of the playoffs, the Los Angeles Lakers traveling to Phoenix to take on the Suns. The series is tied, and the Suns are favorite by 5 and 1/2 with the over-under set at 207.5. The Lakers are 3 and 6 against the spread in its last nine games, and the Phoenix Suns are 15 and 2 straight up in its last 17 games at home.
What I'm looking forward to in this game is the absence of Anthony Davis and who steps up for the Lakers. Obviously, LeBron is going to get his, but who's the other guy? Meanwhile, I think the Suns are complete team. Everybody's playing well. They're at home when they're playing good. 5 and 1/2 is the line, and I think they cover because this series is going to 7. And the Suns have got to win at home if it does do that.
