Nets at Suns picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 117, Nets 107

Moneyline

BET SUNS (+130).

The Nets have not proven they can win since losing Durant. While the Suns have struggled without Booker, Phoenix pulled off an impressive win as a 12.5-point underdog 125-113 at the Golden State Warriors Jan. 10 on TNT. Phoenix’ backup guards should come out extra motivated in this spot to impress once again on national TV, this time vs. a vulnerable Nets team.

Against the spread

PASS.

There is no need to buy the extra 3.5 points on the Suns when Phoenix should win straight up. Bet the moneyline or total instead.

Over/Under

BET OVER 220.5 (-110).

The Over is 6-1 in the Suns’ last 7 games vs. teams with a winning record and 10-2 in the last 12 meetings between these 2 teams in Phoenix. The Over is 3-1 in the Suns’ last 4 games and Thursday’s meeting should be another high-scoring matchup.

The Brooklyn Nets (29-20) continue their Western Conference road swing Tuesday when they face the red-hot Phoenix Suns (40-9). Tip-off is 10 p.m. ET at Footprint Center. Below, we look at the Nets vs. Suns odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

They are playing without two starters in the frontcourt, but G Devin Booker is averaging 31.7 points per game over the last 11 games and G Chris Paul was named Western Conference Player of the Week.

Nets at Suns odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 114, Nets 108

Money line

PASS on the money line. The Suns are playing extremely well despite the absence of Ayton and Crowder. The play of C JaVale McGee and Bismack Biyombo at center has been great in Ayton’s absence, while both Booker and Paul have been outstanding.

While the Nets have been much better on the road (17-7) than at home (12-13), they have lost their last two away from home.

It isn’t worth any play on the Suns with the line what it is. Get more value from the spread and total.

Against the spread

The Nets covered the spread against the Warriors Saturday but are only 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games. They lost by six at home to the Suns Nov. 27.

The Suns had to come back from 12 down to beat the San Antonio Spurs Sunday but failed to cover the spread. They are 6-4 ATS in their 10-game winning streak.

This will come down to Harden’s availability. The Suns will hold up in the frontcourt and will have a clear advantage in the backcourt if Harden is out. If he plays, it will stay pretty even.

Take the NETS +6.5 (-105).

Over/Under

The Nets have had four of their last eight games finish with totals of 226 or more.

The total was 220 in their first matchup this season.

The Suns’ last 13 games have only surpassed 225 points three times.

Take UNDER 226.5 (-112).
