The Phoenix Suns are on the end of a back to back, but these are games they need to win to stay afloat in the West. The Detroit Pistons are going nowhere fast as they don’t cover numbers despite being underdogs nightly, and they’re losing at home by an average of 6.4 points. No excuses for the Suns. I’ll lay the chalk.
