Phoenix Suns Betting Preview
The Phoenix Suns have been one of the form teams in the league as they’ve won 10 of their last 14 games overall. They will be eager to keep it going after taking down the Knicks in a 106-99 road win on Saturday. Devin Booker led the team with 27 points and four assists, Grayson Allen added 16 points off the bench while Mark Williams chipped in with 14 points and nine rebounds. As a team, the Suns shot just 41 percent from the field and 15 of 42 from the 3-point line as they poured in 36 points in the second quarter to stay within striking distance. Before they clicked into gear with a pivotal 15-0 run at the end of the third quarter to set up the gritty win on the road despite a poor game from Dillon Brooks. He shot just two of 13 from the field for his five points.
Brooklyn Nets Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets have been in terrible form as they’ve lost nine of their last 11 games overall and they will be hoping for a better effort after getting smashed by the Bulls in a 124-102 road defeat last night. Nolan Traore led the team in scoring with 16 points off the bench, Danny Wolf added 14 points while Nic Claxton chipped in with 12 points. As a team, the Nets shot just 46 percent from the field and 16 of 37 from the 3-point line but they were in deep trouble early in this contest and they never truly threatened after getting outscored by 39-22 in the first quarter. Noah Clowney scored just seven points on three of 11 shooting while Cam Thomas finished with 10 assists but just three points on one of six shooting off the bench.

Nets vs Suns Prediction
The Suns could be shorthanded again with Jalen Green, Jamaree Bouyea and Devin Booker all listed as questionable, while the Nets have ruled out Drake Powell, Ziaire Williams and Haywood Highsmith. The Nets will probably have Michael Porter Jr back in the lineup after he was rested last night, but I don’t think it will be enough to take down this Suns squad. They have really played well to win games despite being banged up. I think the Suns get the comfortable win and cover in this spot behind the strength of their defense.
