Phoenix Suns	-6.5 (-107)	218.5 o (-107)	-250

The Phoenix Suns are one of the hottest teams in the NBA and they have won five of their last six matches. Their latest match was an eight-point victory over the Toronto Raptors, 123-115 and it was a good bounce-back win from the loss against the Los Angeles Clippers. Devin Booker looks to be going on the next level leading the team with 24 points, six assists, and went 90% from the free-throw line. He got help mainly from veteran forward Jae Crowder who provided 21 points and six three-pointers. The Suns are gluing together as five other players also scored in double-figures.
