Trail Blazers at Suns picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 124, Trail Blazers 110

Moneyline

PASS.

There’s no reason to consider a moneyline play. The Suns (-600) are far too expensive of a favorite to back, and the Trail Blazers (+425) haven’t shown enough recently to suggest they have a chance to pull off the upset.

Against the spread

BET SUNS -10.5 (-115).

The Trail Blazers have struggled to cover consistently on the road over the last few weeks. Since Nov. 22, they have played 6 road games and are 2-4 ATS in those. They are 1-2 ATS as a double-digit underdog as well.

Phoenix has played 4 straight road games, so a return to home will be welcome. It went 1-3 ATS on the road trip, but is 3-1 ATS in its last 4 home games and 2-0 ATS in its last 2 outings.

Take SUNS -10.5 (-115).

Over/Under

BET OVER 230.5 (-105).

The Suns’ defense has been atrocious as of late. They have gone Over in 4 straight games, allowing at least 115 points in all 4 and letting their opponent top 120 points in 3 of those. Phoenix is 15-9 O/U on the season.

Portland has gone Over in 4 of its last 5 games and has scored at least 115 points in 3 of its last 6 contests. The Trail Blazers have allowed 127 or more point 3 times in their last 5 games. Considering those trends for both sides, back OVER 230.5 (-105).

The Suns lost the Orlando Magic 115-110 Sunday, closing as a 2-point road underdog. G Devin Booker led the way with 25 points, but shot just 8-for-21 from the field. The Suns have lost 3 straight and 9 of their last 12 games. They are 4-8 ATS in those and 8-15 ATS on the season.

Suns at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 120, Jazz 115

Moneyline

PASS.

The Suns should snap their losing streak Friday as the Jazz have struggled immensely all season long. However, Phoenix is far too expensive to take.

Against the spread

BET JAZZ +7.5 (-105).

Utah has traded off covering and failing to in 5 straight, primed to surpass expectations. It is 3-3 ATS in its last 6 home games and 2-2 ATS in its last 4. The Jazz have found some consistency defensively, allowing 106 or fewer points in 3 of their last 5.

The Suns haven’t found success offensively with Durant sidelined. They have scored 111 or fewer points in 3 of their last 4 games and are 0-3 ATS in their last 3. Phoenix is 1-5 ATS in its last 6 road games. Back JAZZ +7.5 (-105).

Over/Under

BET OVER 231.5 (-110).

The Suns have gone Over in 3 straight games and have scored at least 110 points in each while allowing at least 115 points in all 3 as well. They are 14-9 O/U on the season.

Utah has gone Over in 3 straight as well, either scoring or allowing 141 points in 2 straight. It is, on a larger scale, 6-4 O/U in its last 10 games. Take OVER 231.5 (-110).

Season series: Magic lead 1-0

The Suns are coming off a 121-111 loss as 5.5-point underdogs at the Miami Heat Saturday with the Over (224) hitting. The Suns are 0-2 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) in their last 2 games.

The Magic lost 102-94 as 3-point favorites at the Philadelphia 76ers Friday as the Under (208) cashed. Orlando is 1-2 SU and 0-3 ATS over its last 3 games, but is 7-2 SU and 6-3 ATS in its last 9.

Suns at Magic picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 104, Magic 103

Moneyline

Wagner scored a game-high 32 points in the Nov. 18 meeting, but will miss Sunday with an oblique injury. Orlando was also a 4.5-point road favorite when it covered Nov. 18, and now it is favored by just 2.5 points at home. The move is obviously correct, but I feel this game is even closer to a true coin toss.

BET PHOENIX (+115) to get its revenge with Beal back in the lineup Sunday.

Against the spread

There’s nothing wrong with taking the 2.5; I just prefer getting +115 on a game that I believe should be a pick ’em.

PASS. Bet the ML and/or total instead.

Over/Under

With so many injuries — and Orlando’s first-ranked defense — the Under is the only way we should be looking at this game initially. However, this line opened at 212.5 Sunday morning, so we won’t be getting the best of the number. I won’t be betting the total, but I definitely don’t like the Over.

LEAN UNDER 210.5 (-115).

Suns at Heat picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 114, Heat 110

Moneyline

The Suns are 1-7 this season when Durant doesn’t play, but 5 of those losses were also when G Bradley Beal was out. Beal will be in the lineup. The Suns are 1-2 when Beal plays and Durant does not. They are 4-5 on the road, but Miami hasn’t exactly been dominant at home, going 5-4 there.

The Suns have scored 113 or more in 5 of their last 6 games.

BET SUNS (+190).

Against the spread

Neither team is a reliable ATS bet. The Suns are 8-13 ATS, while the Heat are 9-11 ATS. Seven of the Suns’ covers are outright wins.

PASS.

Over/Under

Their first meeting had 227 total points. Three of the last 4 for Miami have surpassed Saturday’s projection, while 4 of the last 6 for Phoenix have also surpassed it.

Season series: First meeting; Pelicans won 2-1 last season

The Suns beat the San Antonio Spurs 104-93 Tuesday, closing as 7-point home favorites. G Devin Booker scored a game-high 29 points. Phoenix has won 2 straight and 3 of its last 4, a streak that is coming on the back of 5 straight losses. It is 5-5 against the spread (ATS) in its last 10 and 8-12 ATS on the season.

The Pelicans have lost 9 straight games and are coming off a 124-112 defeat at the Atlanta Hawks Monday, closing as 9-point underdogs. They are 0-6 straight up (SU) and 3-3 ATS in their last 6 games. New Orleans has been led this season by F Brandon Ingram, who is averaging 22.9 points per game, but is questionable for Thursday with a calf injury. The Pelicans are 7-15 ATS on the season.

Suns at Pelicans picks and predictions

Prediction

Pelicans 111, Suns 108

Moneyline

BET PELICANS (+125).

New Orleans may not have Williamson, but it did get back G CJ McCollum and G Dejounte Murray recently. Despite struggling to win as of late, in its last 3 home games, it has a 4-point loss to the Golden State Warriors, a 26-point loss to the Toronto Raptors and a 5-point loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. It also beat the Denver Nuggets 101-94 Nov. 15 as a 2-point home underdog.

The Pelicans are 3-1 ATS in their last 4 home games and should have the firepower to keep pace with Phoenix, which will be without its top scoring option in Durant. The Suns are just 1-2 ATS and 0-3 SU in their last 3 road games, including losses at the Minnesota Timberwolves and Sacramento Kings.

Considering the marginal spread, the ATS records carry some weight. Given how New Orleans has faired ATS at home and the Suns’ road struggles, back PELICANS (+125).

Against the spread

PASS.

With the size of the spread and the above prediction, the odds are better on the ML, and that’s the preferred play here.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 222.5 (-110).

The Suns have gone Under in 5 of their last 8 games and in 2 straight. They have held opponents to 105 or fewer points in 3 of their last 4 games.

The Pelicans are 1-5 O/U in their last 6 games. Their offense has scored 112 or fewer points in every game since Nov. 6 and 93 or fewer in 2 of their last 4.

Play UNDER 222.5 (-110).

Prediction

Suns 124, Spurs 115

Moneyline

The Suns have all their stars (Beal, G Devin Booker, F Kevin Durant) together again and healthy. Nurkic’s absence won’t be a critical loss, but it will create a challenge against Spurs C Victor Webanyama.

The Spurs are No. 7 in points allowed at 110.8 per game, but have given up 115 points or more in 4 of their last 5 games. The Suns have averaged 119.8 points per game over their last 4 games.

Phoenix is 7-4 at home while San Antonio is only 3-5 on the road.

The Suns should win but -300 odds aren’t worth the action to bet them on the ML.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Suns have covered the spread in their last 4 wins. They are 3-1 ATS in their last 4 games as favorites.

The Spurs have failed to cover the spread in all but one of their losses this season.

BET SUNS -7.5 (-110).

Over/Under

In 4 matchups last season, 2 games surpassed 230 total points. The Suns’ last 8 games have alternated surpassing 230 and not, and are coming off a 218-point game. Half of the Spurs’ last 10 games have had totals higher than 230.

Warriors at Suns picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 115, Warriors 109

Moneyline

The Warriors are 7-3 on the road but have lost 2 of their last 3 away from home, while the Suns are 6-4 at home, although they are 1-4 in their last 5 home games.

The return of Durant has led to 117 and 127 points.

While Golden State has scored 110 or more in 3 of their last 6 and 2 with 120, they also were held to 101 or fewer in 3 games.

Expect the Suns to bounce back from their last loss and to send the Warriors to a fourth consecutive defeat.

But the spread gives you a better value, so go with that.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Warriors have only 1 cover in their last 7 games.

The Warriors are 5-1 ATS as underdogs and the Suns are 3-7 ATS as favorites, but that is impacted by Durant and Beal being out so many games.

The Suns covered the spread in all 3 victories over the Warriors last season.

BET SUNS -2.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Only 1 of the Warriors’ last 6 games has surpassed the projected total for this matchup.

The Suns’ last 6 games have alternated going Over or Under tonight’s projected total. Their last game had 244 points.

BET UNDER 233.5 (-115).
