NBA Betting Trends - Suns at Spurs Game 4
by Eric Williams
This knock-down drag-out series has had all the drama of hit television series.
There have been offensive outbursts, overly assertive defensive plays and more trash talking between the teams than any postseason series in recent memory.
After surprising the Spurs (48-41-1 ATS were handed a 20-point loss in game two before turning up the pressure – and physicality – in Saturday’s 108-101 game three win.
Will the Spurs continue to dominate the Suns by going to Tim Duncan in the low post, or will the Suns turn up the heat and pace of the game while leaving tread marks all over the stunned Spurs?
My answers to those questions and pick on the game are coming, but let’s take a look at tonight’s trends first.

This barn-burner of a series is really a tough call for NBA hoops bettors and one that I personally would have avoided like the Bubonic Plague.
With that in mind, I though the Spurs were headed to the NBA Finals before this series ever began and I think they will take another step towards that goal by winning this game – and covering the 3.5-point spread.
