Sports bettors have plenty of NBA Playoffs odds to choose from on Tuesday evening, and two west coast games stand out in particular. First, the Phoenix Suns will try evening their series with Portland after the Blazers got by without the injured Brandon Roy. Shortly after that match up begins, Kevin Durant and the Thunder seek revenge against Kobe Bryant and the Lakers in Game 2 of their series. Here are your free picks for tonight’s NBA matchups.

Portland Trailblazers at Phoenix Suns (-8.5) – 10:00 p.m. ET

Phoenix suffered a big letdown on Sunday when it lost 105-100 to a Blazers team playing without its star. Despite the setback, the Suns are on fire and enjoying a 14-3 run including the regular season. They’ve been steady for NBA betting fans, too, by covering seven of their last 10 games against the spread. Phoenix is 7-2-1 against the spread in its last 10 home games.

Who needs Brandon Roy after all? Portland is 5-2 in its last seven games against the spread, including the regular season. The Trailblazers are getting the job done on NBA odds by covering six of their last 10 games against the spread. And with one win at US Airways Center under their belts already, the Blazers should have no problems playing another game there—Portland is 6-3-1 against the spread in its last 10 road games.

Amare Stoudemire must improve his play after scoring just 18 points in Game 1. Ditto for Grant Hill, who crawled to a four-point finish. Both will be better—if only because Steve Nash will get them involved and create offense for them.

Pick: Phoenix

Oklahoma City Thunder at Los Angeles Lakers (-6.5) – 10:30 p.m. ET

The Lakers erased most of the concerns of a late-season collapse—they went 4-6 to close out the regular season—by topping Oklahoma City 87-79 in Game 1 of their NBA Playoffs series. Los Angeles played poorly on NBA betting lines during the skid (4-6 ATS overall, 3-6-1 ATS on the road) but you can pretty much throw those numbers out; LA has got its act together again. Especially with the return of Andrew Bynum, who had a double-double in Game 1 after missing the last 13 games.

Oklahoma City also stumbled down the stretch, losing four of its last six outings in the regular season. The rust carried over to the postseason, as the Thunder shot just 40 percent against the Lakers in Game 1 (including a brutal 2-16 performance from the three-point line). The loss dropped Oklahoma to 5-5 in its last 10 games against the spread, not to mention a three-game ATS losing streak on the road.

The Lakers have dominated this series, going 9-1 straight up and 6-4 against the spread in their last 10 meetings. Kevin Durant and Co. simply aren’t ready for the defending NBA champs yet, at least not on the road.

Pick: Los Angeles
