Prediction

Suns 119, Timberwolves 112

Moneyline

The last time the 2 teams met, G Devin Booker and F Kevin Durant both scored 31 in the 133-115 Suns win in Phoenix on Nov. 15.

Booker has scored 92 points in the last 2 games and Durant scored 32 in the Suns’ win over the Cavs.

The Suns are 23-14 at home and have won 3 straight there.

The T-wolves have won 4 straight on the road. They have only allowed 1 opponent in their last 10 games to score more than 110 points, while the Suns have scored 115 or more in 6 of their last 10 and 120 or more in 5 of their last 10 games.

Anticipate the pace to favor the Suns and for the home team to get the win, but at -175, it is better to go with the spread.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Suns have covered the spread in each of their last 6 wins, going 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games. They are only 15-22-1 ATS at home this season while the T-wolves are 21-17 ATS on the road this season.

The Suns’ last 20 wins have been by 5 or more points.

BET SUNS -4.5 (-115).

Cleveland Cavaliers at Phoenix Suns odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Cleveland Cavaliers at Phoenix Suns odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Cleveland Cavaliers (45-30) make the 3rd stop of a 5-game road trip on Wednesday against the Phoenix Suns (43-31). Tip-off at Footprint Center is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Cavaliers vs. Suns odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Suns lead 1-0; Phoenix won 117-111 in Cleveland on March 11 as the Cavs covered as a 7-point underdog and the Over (221) cashed

The Cavaliers welcome G Donovan Mitchell back after resting him Tuesday in Utah due to load management on his knee. Cleveland didn’t need him against his former team, as the Cavs pounded the Jazz 129-113 as a 9.5-point favorite while the Over (218.5) cashed. That halted a 1-6 ATS skid, and the Over has cashed in 6 straight for Cleveland.

The Suns have picked up 5 wins in the past 7 games, while also going 5-2 against the spread (ATS) in the span. The Over has cashed in 4 of the past 6 outings, while going 7-4 in the past 11 games since March 11, which was the 1st meeting in Cleveland.

Cavaliers at Suns picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 119, Cavaliers 109

Moneyline

The Suns (-225) will cost you more than 2 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not enough reward.

The Cavaliers (+180) are 1-4 straight up (SU) and 2-3 ATS in the past 5 games when playing in the 2nd end of a back-to-back. One of those games on no rest came against the Suns on March 11 in the 1st meeting, falling at home 117-111.

AVOID.

Against the spread

The SUNS -5.5 (-110) are brimming with confidence after pounding the New Orleans Pelicans 124-111 as a 1.5-point underdog. G Devin Booker rolled up 52 points on 19-of-28 shooting with 8 made 3-pointers.

The Cavaliers +5.5 (-110) are also entering play with confidence after paddling the Jazz without Mitchell, but Cleveland is still just 2-6 ATS in the past 8 games.

Over/Under

OVER 226.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

The Over has cashed in 6 straight games for Cleveland, going for 111 or more points in 4 of the past 5 outings, while coughing up at least 113 points in 4 consecutive contests.

The Over cashed in the Suns win in Cleveland on March 11, and the total has gone high in 7 of the past 11 outings since that meetings on the shores of Lake Erie.

Suns at Pelicans picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 113, Pelicans 108

Moneyline

The Suns are tough to read. They have lost 3 times to the San Antonio Spurs, but beat the Nuggets twice in Denver. They blew out the Pelicans in New Orleans in January 123-109 behind 52 points from G Devin Booker. They have beaten the Pelicans in 5 of the last 7 meetings.

They are 20-17 on the road this season and 2-2 on this road trip. They have not lost back-to-back games since dropping 2 straight March 2-3 to Houston and Oklahoma City.

The Pelicans have not lost consecutive games since Feb. 23-25 to Miami and Chicago.

Given the Suns’ up-and-down performances, they should come out and play well in this game. And you can get even money odds.

BET SUNS +100.

Against the spread

The Suns have covered the spread in their last 5 wins. They only have one 1-point win, so chances are that if they win the game, it will be by 2 or more.

But the even-money odds on the ML is the best bet on the Suns.

PASS.

Over/Under

Their 1st meeting this season had 232 total points. Their last 5 meetings have had more than 225 total points.

Three of the Suns’ last 5 games and 6 of their last 10 have had totals of at least 225. But 2 of their last 3 have not reached 225.

Eight of the Pelicans’ last 10 have stayed below 225 points.

BET UNDER 224.5 (-110).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Phoenix Suns (43-30) take on the Oklahoma City Thunder (50-22) Friday with tip-off from Paycom Center set for 8 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Suns vs. Thunder odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Thunder lead 2-0

The Suns have won 4 of 5 after a 104-97 W in Denver Wednesday as 5.5-point dogs. F Kevin Durant had 30 points and 13 boards while going 3-for-4 from long range. They’ve jumped up to 7th place in the West and trail the Dallas Mavericks by a half-game to get out of the play-in tournament.

The Thunder dropped their 2nd in 3 games Wednesday with a 132-126 setback against the Houston Rockets as 4.5-point favorites. Superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander sat out with a sore quad, and he’s doubtful for this one. G Josh Giddey busted out with 31 points, 7 boards and 4 assists.

Suns at Thunder and predictions

Prediction

Suns 113, Thunder 107

Moneyline

Full disclosure, I felt the Suns were taking this one before even reading that SGA is doubtful to play. It’s really hard to beat a team 3 times in a season, and the Suns are turning up the heat on the competition down the stretch. They’re 2-1 on their road trip, and that 1 loss came by 2 points when no one besides KD and G Devin Booker showed up.

You can skip the ML here and take the better value on the spread, though.

PASS.

Against the spread

In this stretch the Suns have won 4 of 5, they covered in each of those wins. OKC is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games and 4-5-1 in the last 10 meetings against Phoenix.

Take the SUNS -1.5 (-115).

Over/Under

OKC cashed 2 straight Overs, but they’re 4-6 O/U over their last 10. The Suns are 5-5 O/U during the same stretch. The Under has cashed in both meetings this year, and with SGA on the sidelines, I’ll take the UNDER 227.5 (-110).

The Phoenix Suns (41-30) travel to meet the Denver Nuggets (51-21) Wednesday. Tip-off at the Ball Arena is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Suns vs. Nuggets odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Tied 1-1; road team has won and covered in each with the Over-Under splitting 1-1

The Suns suffered a 104-102 loss in San Antonio as a 12-point favorite in the 2nd end of a back-to-back despite the fact rookie Victor Wembanyama didn’t play for the Spurs. The Under (234.5) cashed, and is now 13-5 across the past 18 outings. Despite the non-cover, Phoenix is still 3-1 against the spread (ATS) in the past 4 contests.

The Nuggets posted a 128-103 win against the visiting Memphis Grizzlies on Monday, cashing as 12.5-point favorites as the Over (215.5) cashed for a 4th consecutive outing. Denver has won 4 in a row, but it is just 2-3 ATS in the past 5 games.

Suns at Nuggets picks and predictions

Prediction

Nuggets 118, Suns 113

Moneyline

The Nuggets (-300) are too expensive, costing you 3 times your potential return. While the Suns (+245) might be a bit tempting for a chance to more than double your payout, especially since the road team has won both meetings this season, Phoenix has lost 3 of the past 4 meetings in the series.

AVOID.

Against the spread

The SUNS +7.5 (-110) are the lean, as the Nuggets -7.5 (-110) have been a little banged up.

While the 2-time MVP Jokic is fully expected to play, Denver could be a little shorthanded if Murray and/or Gordon are forced to sit due to injuries. The Nuggets should still be able to get the job done, but laying nearly 4 buckets is an awful lot against a fellow Western Conference contender.

Over/Under

OVER 226.5 (-110) might be the best play on the board.

While the Under is 3-1 in the past 4 in this series, the Over just missed by a half-point at most shops in the most recent meeting on March 5 in the Mile High City.

Phoenix has scored 128 or more points in 3 of the past 5 games, while cashing the Over at a 5-3 clip in its past 8 outings. Meanwhile, Denver is on a 4-0 Over run, scoring at least 113 points in each game, while allowing 106.5 PPG in the 4-game span.

Suns 118, Spurs 108

Moneyline

The Suns have 19 road wins this season, while the Spurs have 15 total wins. The road team has won all 3 games in the series this season.

The Spurs have scored more than 106 points just once in the 1st 7 games of their homestand. The Suns have scored 115 or more in 3 straight games.

The Suns should win this game, but they aren’t worth a wager at -700 unless it is to include it in a parlay bet.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Suns have won 3 straight games by 13 or more points. They are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games.

The Spurs had been avoiding blowout losses recently. They have lost 8 of their last 10 games, but only 2 have been by at least 13 points, including Saturday’s loss to the Suns.

The Spurs are 35-36 ATS on the season. The Suns are 29-40-2 ATS. The Spurs are 13-16 ATS as home underdogs.

The Spurs have failed to cover the spread in 2 straight games and have not had gone longer than that since before the All-Star Break.

BET SPURS +12.5 (-112).

Over/Under

Prior to allowing 131 to the Suns on Saturday, the Spurs had not allowed more than 117 points in 8 straight games.

The Over has hit in all 3 meetings this season, but only 2 of the Spurs’ last 7 games have surpassed the projected total for this matchup.

The Suns have scored 115 or more in 4 straight games, but are 32-39 O/U this season.

BET UNDER 233.5 (-110).

Suns at Spurs picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 119, Spurs 108

Moneyline

The Suns have hit 41 three-pointers in their last 2 games. They are 18-15 on the road this season while the Spurs are only 8-26. And the Suns will want to avenge their 2 home losses to the Spurs from earlier this season.

The Spurs have only 15 wins all season and only 7 on the road. Two were in Phoenix.

San Antonio has just 5 wins in its last 24 games. They are 7-34 against teams with winning records.

Betting the Spurs has a big payout if they win, but you can’t reasonably count on that, while betting the Suns just isn’t profitable enough in this game.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Suns are 28-40-2 ATS overall this season while the Spurs are 35-35 ATS.

The Suns’ last 3 wins and 4 of the last 6 have been by at least 10 points.

Ten of the Spurs’ last 16 losses have been by double digits.

BET SUNS -9.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The totals in the 2 previous meetings this season (Oct. 31 and Nov. 2) were 229 and 253.

The Atlanta Hawks (30-38) wrap up a 5-game road trip Thursday against the Phoenix Suns (40-29). Tip-off at Footprint Center is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Hawks vs. Suns odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Hawks lead 1-0

The Hawks limp to the finish line of the road trip, going 1-3 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) on the journey.

The Suns have alternated wins and losses in each of the past 7 outings dating back to March 7, going 4-3 SU, while managing just a 2-5 ATS mark in the span. Phoenix is also a dismal 4-10 ATS across the past 14 games, while the Under is on a 12-3 run in the previous 15 outings.

In their 1st meeting Feb. 2, Atlanta won 129-120 at home as a 3.5-point underdog as the Under (251.5) cashed. The Hawks have won and covered each of the past 4 meetings, with the Over going 7-2 in the past 9 in the series.

Hawks at Suns picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 117, Hawks 105

Moneyline

The Suns (-420) cannot be trusted, costing more than 4 times your potential return. That’s way too much risk for not enough reward. And, remember, the Hawks (+340) won the 1st meeting, and Atlanta has picked up 4 straight wins in the series. However, the Hawks can’t be trusted, either, as they’re just too banged up right now, while sucking fumes at the end of a long West Coast road trip.

PASS.

Against the spread

The SUNS -9.5 (-108) are worth playing lightly at home. You’ll be going against the series trends, as Phoenix is 0-4 SU/ATS in the past 4 meetings. But the Suns are much healthier than the visitors, and Phoenix is back on its home floor, while Atlanta is at the tail end of a grueling West Coast road swing.

Over/Under

UNDER 225.5 (-110) is the way to go, as both teams have been going low lately.

The Hawks have cashed the Under in 5 of the past 7 games while going low in 10 of the past 14 outings. Atlanta has also cashed the Under in 6 of the past 8 tries against Western Conference teams.

For the Suns, the Under is 12-3 in the past 15 games since Feb. 14 while going 13-6 in the past 19 against Eastern Conference teams, including the 1st meeting with Atlanta.
