Indiana Pacers - Atlanta Hawks

I believe that the Suns should have finished the work in the fight for the playoffs. Although the end of the season did not go particularly well, it was clearly due to the injury factor and a long series without Brooks. However, now that he is back, both Booker and Green can play, but there is a question mark over Allen. The Blazers also surprised this year, with maybe no one expecting them to be a top 8 seed. It's a good young team, but I think their lack of experience will show in the play-ins, even with solid leaders like Jrue Holiday. I predict defensive battles and, with the home court advantage, I believe the Suns will have some extra edge and are actually a better team currently. They are most likely a 50+ win team rather than 45-37, if not for the injuries that they sustained.
