Nets at Suns picks and predictions
Prediction
Suns 116, Nets 110
Moneyline
The Nets are 0-4 when they have a rest advantage. The Suns on the other hand are 2-3 on shorter rest.
After their dominating win Monday, if Durant and Beal play this should be an easy win. But these guys suiting up again is not guaranteed and even if they did, at the current odds its best to PASS and look to the spread.
Against the spread
As home favorites the Suns have a bottom-5 record (1-5). And after returning from injury I would be surprised if Durant and Beal play a full game on a back-to-back. Plus as underdogs the Nets are 10-3-1 ATS (76.9%).
BET NETS +8.5 (-110).
Over/Under
After a win, both teams trend toward the Over, the Suns being 6-3 (66.7%) while the Nets are 4-3 (57.1%). The line right now is quite low so I like the Over.
LEAN OVER 218.5 (-115).
