If you spend a few minutes on popular social media platforms, you may not find a single positive comment about the Phoenix Suns.
They own the 11th seed of the Western Conference with a 26-29 record. This means you can miss the play-in tournament. Additionally, they are NBA-Worst 19-35-1 for the spread, a measure of performance against team expectations.
Fans may point out injuries, but that's a lame excuse. This is a team that made changes to the trade and lineup to offset what a terrible culture and attitude is. Since the first week of the season, they have been missing a cohesive ink ring.
Nothing has changed since I dealt with this six weeks ago. I hope they've faded religiously, but I'm still 27-14 ATS in this sports section. They are about to win a victory over Phoenix for the next two months.
It starts on Sunday as they travel north of the border. The Raptors rank fourth best in 32-23-1 ATS coverage. They're even better on the 17-12-1 ATS home court.
Honestly, Toronto thrives in the role of a big underdog. Given that the Raptors are a brutal 22 games under .500, asking them to win is a very different request. But this is a quality team of perfect strength like today and we hope that the Raptors will win. Plus, they have a fierce coach for Darko Rajakovic. They are always ready to play his team hard.
Phoenix was crushed in the first game after an All-Star break, despite the Spurs playing without rising star Victor Wenbagnama. The Suns traveled on Saturday to face the Spiral Bulls team. Back-to-back road games often test NBA teams, and the Suns are a predictable 3-7-1 ATS that they play without a break this season.
