Prediction
Suns 125, Nets 120
Money line (ML)
The Suns have won six games in a row, and nine of their last 10, as they wrap up their homestand. The Nets have won three in a row. They will play in front of 3,000 fans in Phoenix as Nets head coach Steve Nash returns to where he was a two-time MVP. The Nets have struggled a bit on the road, going 6-7, while the Suns, thanks to a seven-game home winning streak, are 10-4 on their home court. G Devin Booker was recently named the Western Conference Player of the Week, and the Suns are fully healthy. Take the SUNS -150.

Against the spread (ATS)
The Suns have been very reliable as an ATS bet. They have the second-highest cover percentage in the league at 65.4%. They have covered the spread in every single win. They have failed to cover the spread in every loss. The Nets are 13-16 ATS. The Suns are a league-best 9-2 ATS as home favorites and a league-best 3-1 ATS with a rest advantage — The Nets are playing the second of a back-to-back while Phoenix had Monday off. The Nets have not covered the spread in either of the previous two road games in which they were underdogs. Take the SUNS -3.5 (-105).
Over/Under (O/U)
Thanks to the league’s best offense and third-worst scoring defense, the Nets have been nearly a lock on the total this season. Their Over percentage is 72.4%, and their games have gone Over in eight of their last 10 games. They had a stretch of 12 consecutive games going Over the total. Phoenix is 11-15 O/U but three of their last four have gone Over. Take OVER 231.5 POINTS (-110).
