Spread: Suns -5.5
Michael Fiddle, Action Network: "Because of the impending injury news to Jaime Jaquez Jr., who is such a key piece to the Heat's switching defense, I really like Phoenix and would play any number below -6. You can find Suns -5.5 everywhere, and although the vig ranges from between -107 and -115, I still want Phoenix side at those prices.
