AAA's 10* WEST-COAST "ASSASSIN!" (+$50,000 NBA RUN s/ 2013!)
(NBA) Phoenix vs. San Antonio,
Point Spread: -4.50 | -110.00 San Antonio (Home)
Result: Win
This is a 10* ASSASSIN on the San Antonio Spurs.

For a number of different reasons I think that the home side is the savvy move here. Despite Phoenix being one of the hottest clubs in the league right now, it's rarely had any success whatsoever in San Antonio and I definitley think that strong trend of futility continues in this one. The Spurs will be especially motivated to return to their winning ways after losing 105-104 to Detroit on Tuesday, a game in which they were ahead by three with ten seconds, only to fall for the eighth time in 12 games. Phoenix is 10-2 since mid December, but needed to hold on for dear life in Tuesday's 113-111 victory over Minnesota. But as mentioned off the top, the Suns have struggled in San Antonio, losing nine of the last ten there. Also note that the Spurs will be playing with the revenge factor after falling 94-89 in Phoenix back on October 31st. It's a perfect situation for us to take advantage of, the home side is without question the "hungrier" team, while the Suns come in a bit complacent. And from a trend based stand point, this selection is about as solid as you could possibly ask for, note that Phoenix is just 8-9 ATS this year after allowing 105 points or more, while San Antonio is 6-2 ATS this season off an upset loss as a favorite. In my opinion, after taking all of the above factors into consideration, all signs do indeed point to the SPURS as the correct call in this one.
