Rotation #532
Suns -4 over Nuggets (win)
The Suns are down 2-0 in the series. Chris Paul has been playing for decades to get a Championship ring and will not be in the lineup tonight. The Suns will need Kevin Durant and Devin Booker to play like the all-stars they are. The Suns will need to get to the foul line tonight and should gain the necessary offensive rebounds for second-chance points. Look for Phoenix to inch closer in the series with a home win. Take the Suns.

Rotation #966
Royals -1.5 runs over Athletics +120 (loss)
Keller/Muller
The Royals are better at hitting left-handed pitching and have the better pitcher on the mound tonight. The A’s can’t hit right-handed pitching, and I expect Brad Keller to have a decent performance on the rise. Both teams are not good this season, but the Royals have shown signs of life. The A’s have looked defeated already in early May. We will take the run line tonight. Take the Royals -1.5 runs +120.
