Are the Nets on the up and come? Judging by their recent games, they just might be. In which case, bettors might want to strike the iron while it\u2019s hot.<\/p>\n
You could say the same about the Suns, who are reversing expectations from before the season began with their play. Even more ridiculous is Portland’s offensive stars, who are on an other-worldly tear over their last ten games.<\/p>\n[sc:BettingArticlesShortcoder ]\n

1. Portland Trail Blazers<\/h3>\n
Next Games: @T\u2019wolves, vs. Pelicans, vs. Clippers<\/strong><\/p>\n
The red-hot Blazers are making baskets look like the size of the Atlantic Ocean, registering a 9-1 OVER slate in their last 10 games. They are the best scoring team in the NBA, pouring on an average of 107.9 PPG.<\/p>\n
Over their last 10 games, Portland has even found a way to better that season average by torturing defenses with a ridiculous 113.9 PPG.<\/p>\n
Against Philadelphia last Saturday, LaMarcus Aldridge and gang showed no mercy to the lowly Sixers, hanging a season-high 139 points \u2013 the most points in a game by any team this year. To expound the Blazers\u2019 offensive show, they haven\u2019t scored lower than 102 points in 13 games.\u00a0[sc:NBA240banner ]<\/p>\n
2. Brooklyn Nets<\/h3>\n
Next Games: vs. Wizards, @Sixers, vs. Pacers<\/strong><\/p>\n
Suddenly, Joe Johnson and crew are starting to resemble a group of players who aren’t going to make owner Mikhail Prokhorov throw his pen after signing their multi-million dollar paychecks.<\/p>\n
The Nets are 4-1 SU in their last five games, which includes the first time this season that the team has won back-to-back, winning three in a row against the Bucks, Celtics and Clippers. Even better was their 5-0 ATS record in their last five contests.<\/p>\n
3. Phoenix Suns<\/h3>\n
Next Games: vs. Spurs, @Nuggets, vs. Dallas<\/strong><\/p>\n
The rebuilding Suns are looking like gold under their rookie head coach; a team under such circumstances isn\u2019t supposed to be just 1.5 games behind the well-established Clippers. But believe it or not, Phoenix is giving legitimate chase to the Clippers\u2019 rule in the Pacific division. The Suns have yet to go below .500 this season and they are now five games above the mark, thanks to a five-game winning streak. More than that, the Suns are 5-0 ATS in those games.<\/p>\n
4. Indiana Pacers<\/h3>\n
Next Games: @Heat, vs. Celtics, @Nets<\/strong><\/p>\n
