San Antonio Spurs (+ 6.5) vs. Phoenix Suns (- 6.5)

San Antonio travels to Phoenix for game three of their best of seven series. The Spurs did an about face in the first two games of this series. Usually, the Spurs aren’t anywhere close to being online wagering studs. After all, these Spurs are 37-43-2 on the year against the BetUS spread. That doesn’t make them online sportsbook favorites by any means. But the Spurs proved something in game two of this series. Down by seven at half-time, the Spurs turned things around enough to absolutely destroy the betting line of Spurs – 2. I, for one, thought that the Spurs would lose game two outright. Now, I’m thinking they’ve got a chance to beat the spread in game three.

Before I get to that, let’s take a look at the BetUS NBA online wagering odds for this game.

San Antonio Spurs + 6.5 - 110 + 240 O 193 ½ - 110

Phoenix Suns - 6.5 - 110 - 290 U 193 ½ - 110

The betting odds haven’t changed all that much since BetUS posted them. Before really getting into these odds, let’s take a look at a few trends.

The San Antonio Spurs are 5 and 1 against the spread in their last 6 Quarter Final Games.

The Phoenix Suns are 6 and 0 against the spread in their last six games following an against the spread loss.

The Under is 4 and 0 in the last 4 meetings between these two teams in Phoenix.

The San Antonio Spurs are 9-4-1 against the spread in the last 13 meetings between these two teams in Phoenix.

My thinking is that the BetUS sports betting line of Suns – 6.5 is just too much. If I had to bet on the line, I’d take the Spurs, but I don’t think that is the best online wager available.

To me the online wager that makes the most sense is taking the over at BetUS sportsbook odds of 193 ½ - 110. Even though the trend above says under, I can’t help but think the smartest online wager in this game is on the over.

The reason I like the over is because the Suns will no doubt push the tempo in this game. The Spurs can run with the Suns if they have to. That makes choosing a winner straight-up, or against the spread, difficult. But the over is right there for the taking.

The BetUS over/under online sports betting odds in the San Antonio Spurs versus Phoenix Suns game is 193 ½ - 110.

Placing an online wager on the over in this game looks super solid to me.
