Jack’s Suns at Blazers Picks

December 17, 2009

Jack Jones is on an incredible 106-75 (59%) run with his NBA picks dating back the last 12 months, and he’s going to continue to beat the NBA point spreads for the rest of the season.  Sign up for one of his premium packages and see how easy it is to beat the books on a nightly basis.  Let’s take a look at one of his free NBA picks for Thursday, this one on the Suns at the Blazers:

Phoenix is 8-8 on the season when playing as a visitor, but what’s more telling is that they average only 104.4 ppg in that role to giving up 106.6. Portland on the other hand is 9-4 on their home floor while outscoring opponents by 7 ppg.

The Suns are a good outside shooting team, hitting 43.3% of their 3-pointers, but that number drops to 40.2% on the road. Portland defense the three as good as anyone, allowing just 31% from behind the arc at home. That’s a big reason this team is 14-4 ATS at home against teams who shoot make more than 36% of their outside shots the last two years.

The Blazers dominated their two home games last year, winning 129-109 and 124-119.
