San Antonio Spurs vs Phoenix Suns Preview - May 3rd

The top offense in the NBA squares off with one of the best defenses in the entire league, as this Western Conference Semifinal matchup takes place on Monday, May 3rd from Phoenix. Steve Nash is officially listed as being probable for the game, but he will more than likely get the start for Phoenix on Monday night. Either way, betsfreebets.com advises making your free wager selection on the San Antonio plus the points on May 3rd.

Bettors everywhere need to be careful with a team like Phoenix because you never know which Phoenix team is going to show up on a given night. Their recent first round series against Portland provides a perfect example of how up and down this team really is. In game 1 of the series, punters were treated to seeing one of the truly bad performances that Phoenix put out on the court this season, as they were 5-point losers at home to Portland. Two short nights later, they are beating the same Portland team by 29 points. It is this kind of inconsistency that will ultimately doom Phoenix for the rest of their playoff run. Now that they are facing a tougher opponent in the San Antonio Spurs, they will not be able to get away with taking games off like they were able to against Portland. Due to a general lack of consistency during both the regular season and the playoffs, the smart free bet would have to be on the San Antonio Spurs plus the 4.5 points.

One aspect of the game where the Spurs really do need to improve is their bench play. Besides Tony Parker's 35 quality minutes that he gave San Antonio in their Game 6 win over the Dallas Mavericks, there was very little in the way of bench production. Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili are not getting any younger, and even though George Hill looks like he could really be an outstanding point guard at the NBA level, it is clear that the Spurs are going to need more from guys like Matt Bonner, DeJuan Blair, and Keith Bogans. Having what basically amounts to a 6-man rotation is not going to take you to another NBA Championship. Good, quality minutes from your bench are essential to the overall success of an NBA team. Despite this shortcoming, the Spurs are still talented enough to make a free wager pick on San Antonio.

The line and total for this game present a lot of great opportunity to take a position that you like and run with it. If you can get yourself a free wager, betsfreebets.com suggests taking San Antonio with your play. There is also good opportunity if you like betting totals, as the number is set right now at 203.5. Oddsmakers are putting a lot of faith in a San Antonio offense that has not been overly active during this past season, plus it is important not to forget that the Spurs have one of the top defenses in the entire NBA, so Phoenix is not going to have their usual ability to score at will. Whatever direction you decide to go with the game, make sure you get a chance to watch two of the better teams in the league square off for Western Conference supremacy.
