Magic at Suns picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 126, Magic 118

Moneyline

The Magic are only 12-22 on the road this season, but are 6-3 in their last 9 road games. The Suns are 22-12 at home and, while they have lost 3 straight games, should not have too much trouble against Orlando.

But there is no point wagering 3 times what you can win on this game for the Suns to win.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Magic are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games and 3-7 ATS in their last 10. The Suns have failed to cover the spread in their last 3, but prior to that, they had 6 straight games without an ATS loss.

The Suns are 18-15-1 ATS at home, which is matched by the Magic’s identical mark on the road.

After 3 straight losses, I am anticipating a bounceback performance from Phoenix.

BET SUNS -7.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The Magic have allowed more than 130 points in 3 of their last 4 games. The Suns are averaging 115.9 points per game over their last 10.

The Over is 5-0 in the Magic’s last 5 games while the Over is 4-0 in the Suns’ last 4 home games against teams with a losing road record like the Magic.

BET OVER 228.5 (-108).

Bucks at Suns key injuries

Suns

F Kevin Durant (ankle) out
G Landry Shamet (foot) out

For most recent updates: Official NBA injury report.

Bucks at Suns picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 119, Suns 115

Moneyline

The Bucks are the hottest team in basketball having won 16 of their last 17 games and face a shorthanded Suns squad, with Durant out for another couple of weeks with an ankle sprain.

Including their NBA Finals matchup 2 seasons ago, the Bucks have won 6 of the last 7 meetings with the Suns.

They are 21-13 on the road while the Suns are 22-11 at home. Phoenix needs more from G Chris Paul then he has been giving lately, Paul 39% from the field on 18 shots in the Suns’ loss to the Bucks last month.

With a short spread, the better value is to go with an ATS wager. PASS.

Against the spread

A 1.5-point spread should be no problem for the Bucks, going with the assumption they win. They have only one 1-point win and only 3 wins by less than 3 points.

The Bucks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games playing on no rest. They are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 road games against teams with winning home records.

BET BUCKS -1.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The last Bucks-Suns matchup only had 205 total points. But the Suns’ last 4 games have all hit the Over and have had more than Tuesday’s projected total. Also, 5 of the last 7 for the Bucks have had totals higher than this.

BET OVER 231.5 (-115).

Phoenix Suns at Golden State Warriors odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Phoenix Suns at Golden State Warriors odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Phoenix Suns (37-30) and Golden State Warriors (35-33) meet Monday at Chase Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Suns vs. Warriors odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Suns failed to cover the spread as 3.5-point home favorites Saturday in a 128-119 loss vs. the Sacramento Kings. G Devin Booker finished with 28 points as Phoenix’s 4-game win streak came to an end.

The Warriors covered as 3.5-point home favorites Saturday with a 125-116 overtime win vs. the Milwaukee Bucks. G Stephen Curry scored 22 of his game-high 36 points in the 4th quarter and overtime as Golden State snapped its 3-game skid.

The Suns lead this season’s series 3-0 and the Over has hit in all 3 meetings. Phoenix covered as a 12.5-point road underdog in a 125-113 win as the Over (230) cashed in the most recent meeting Jan. 10.

Suns at Warriors picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 121, Suns 120

Moneyline

PASS.

The Warriors (-190) are tied with the Cleveland Cavaliers for the 4th-best home record this season at 28-7 and should beat the Suns, but Golden State is being slightly overvalued on the moneyline. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

BET SUNS +4.5 (-110).

Golden State was trailing by 8 points in the final 2 minutes vs. Milwaukee and was lucky to come away with the win. The Warriors should be due for a letdown Monday after pulling off such an improbable comeback.

Phoenix is 4-0 ATS in its last 4 games after allowing more than 125 points in its previous contest and 5-0-1 ATS in its last 6 after a loss. The Suns have won 4 straight games vs. the Warriors and should be able to bounce back after losing straight up as a favorite last time out.

Over/Under

BET OVER 236.5 (-108).

The Over is 4-0 in Phoenix’s last 4 games and 11-4 in the Suns’ last 15 on the road vs. teams with a home winning percentage above .600.

The Over has hit in 4 of the last 5 meetings between these teams and Monday’s matchup should be another high-scoring affair.

Suns at Mavericks picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 115, Mavericks 110

Moneyline

Since Durant returned from his knee injury and debuted for the Suns, Phoenix has not lost. G Devin Booker has scored 37 and 35 points, and he is a +31 in 69 minutes.

The Suns have allowed 97.5 points in their last 2 games since Durant joined the lineup. They have won 14 of their last 19 games overall and 7 of their last 9 on the road.

The Mavericks have allowed 121.6 points per game in their last 7 games.

If the Suns keep playing the way they have in their last 2 games, they should get the win.

BET SUNS (-105).

Against the spread

The Suns are 6-3-1 ATS in their last 10 games and are 35-28-1 ATS overall this season, while the Mavericks are 24-38-2 ATS this season, the 2nd-worst ATS mark in the league.

The Suns have covered the spread in their last 4 road games.

The Mavs are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 Sunday games and 1-9-1 ATS in their last 11 games playing on 2 days’ rest.

However, you get slightly better value taking the Suns on the moneyline.

PASS.

Over/Under

The Over is 4-1 in the Mavericks’ last 5 home games. They have averaged 121.6 points per game in their last 7 contests.

Only 1 of the Suns’ last 10 games has reached 234 total points.

Suns 109, Bulls 101

Moneyline

With Durant in the lineup with Booker, the Suns will be hard to defend as they combined for 60 points in their 1st game together. But there isn’t any value to bet the Suns on the moneyline here.

PASS.

The Suns blew out the Bulls at home in November. They are 6-3-1 ATS in their last 10 games. The Bulls are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS loss.

Bet SUNS -5.5 (-105).

Suns at Bucks picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 119, Suns 111

Moneyline

PASS.

The moneyline does not have as much value as a play on the spread in this matchup.

Against the spread

BET BUCKS -3.5 (-108).

The Bucks are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 19-11 ATS at home on the season. While playing as a 3-4.5-point favorite this season, they are 5-2 ATS this season while the Suns are just 2-4 ATS while playing as a 2-4.5-point underdog.

Phoenix’s offense ranks just 22nd in the NBA for points per game (112.9) while the Milwaukee defense ranks 5th in the league for opponent points per game (111.4). While Antetokounmpo will be sidelined in this game, so will Durant, which will help the Bucks to come out with a sizeable victory.

The Suns are also 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings in Milwaukee between these 2 teams and just 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings overall.

The Oklahoma City Thunder (28-30) visit the Phoenix Suns (32-28) on Friday. Tip from Footprint Center is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Thunder vs. Suns odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Thunder fell 120-119 in overtime against Utah on the road Thursday to push as 1-point underdogs. In their last 10, they are 5-5 overall and 5-4-1 against the spread (ATS). This season, Oklahoma City has been a moneymaker against the spread with a 35-21-2 ATS record.

The Suns fell 116-107 at home to the Clippers last Thursday failing to cover as 1-point home underdogs. The loss snapped a 2-game winning streak both outright and against the spread. In their last 10 games, they are 7-3 overall and 6-4 ATS to improve to 32-28 ATS on the season.

Thunder at Suns picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 115, Thunder 109

Moneyline

PASS.

At 2.7 times the risk, the moneyline is not profitable for the Suns in this matchup.

Against the spread

LEAN THUNDER +6.5 (-105).

The Thunder are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 Friday games, 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games following an outright loss and 4-1-1 in their last 6 road games against a team with a winning percentage greater than .600. Playing against a Suns team without F Kevin Durant will help to allow the Thunder to stay in this game.

OKC is 9-5-1 ATS this season as a 5-7-point underdog while Phoenix is just 4-6 ATS as a 5-7-point favorite.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 230.5 (-108).

The Under is 3-0 in the Thunder’s last 3 games and 5-2 in the Suns’ last 7.

Phoenix’s strength is its defense, which ranks 5th in the league for opponent points per game (111.3) and 8th in the league for opponent field goal percentage (46.7). In the last 8 games when they’ve had 3 or more days rest that has been evident; in such games, the Under is 6-2. The Under is also 5-1 in the Suns’ last 6 Friday games.

The Kings have been pretty good on the road at 15-12 and they have won 4 of their last 6 on the road.

The Suns are 19-9 at home this season and have won 5 of their last 7 there. They are 2-0 in the 2 games that Devin Booker has played since returning from injury. They are 20-11 when he is in the lineup.

But with a small spread, while a moneyline bet on the Suns is perfectly fine, the better value is betting the spread.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Kings are 16-11 ATS on the road while the Suns are 16-12 ATS at home. Sacramento is 4-6 ATS in their last 10 games while the Suns are 6-4.

The Suns are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a win by at least 10 points but having Booker back in the lineup will be the difference. They did not have Booker playing in any of those 6 games.

BET SUNS -2.5 (-112).

Over/Under

Their 1st game this season had 239 total points. The Suns have not had a game reach 235 in their last 7 games and only 2 of their last 10 have had totals that high. The Kings’ last 5 games have all had totals of at least 235.

Only 1 of the Suns’ last 10 games has had at least 235 points.

BET UNDER 234.5 (-112).

Suns at Pacers picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 116, Pacers 112

Moneyline

The Suns lost their first game following their trade for F Kevin Durant Thursday. They will continue to play shorthanded since Fs Cam Johnson and Mikal Bridges were both traded away in the deal and Durant hasn’t returned from a knee injury.

However, the Pacers have lost 13 of their last 15 games. While they are 17-12 at home on the year they are just 2-5 in their last 7 tries there.

The Suns are 11-18 on the road this season but are 4-1 in their last 5 road games.

BET SUNS (+120).

Against the spread

With such a small spread, it makes sense to stick with the moneyline if you like the Suns.

The last time the Suns lost by only 1 point, it was 122-121 to the Houston Rockets on Dec. 10 and they are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a loss.

The Pacers have not covered the spread in their last 6 games playing on one night’s rest.

PASS.

Over/Under

Only 1 of the Suns’ last 6 games has reached 230 total points.

The Under is 4-1 in the Pacers’s last 5 games. Only 2 of their last 10 games have had totals of 230 or more.

BET UNDER 230.5 (-108).

Suns at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Hawks 120, Suns 112

Moneyline

PASS.

The Suns (+225) are too risky following their trade for F Kevin Durant. Phoenix will be without many key rotation pieces and Booker, who is injured. However, you can’t risk nearly 3 times your potential return with the Hawks (-270), either.

Against the spread

LEAN HAWKS -6.5 (-120).

While the Hawks haven’t been great for bettors throughout the season, they have performed well recently, covering 3 of their last 5. They are also coming off 9-point and 20-point losses, and are 14-12-1 ATS following a loss.

Atlanta has the pieces to neutralize C Deandre Ayton as well. With Booker and Durant not with Phoenix and Atlanta’s success after losing, back HAWKS -6.5 (-120).

Over/Under

BET OVER 228.5 (-110).

The Hawks have gone Over their projected total in 5 of their last 7 games. They have allowed at least 115 points in their last 2 and in 4 of their last 6 while also averaging the league’s 6th most points per game (116.1). They are 32-23 O/U this season.

The Suns have gone Over in 4 of their last 6 games as well. They have scored 116 points in 2 straight games. Given the recent success offensively for both teams, back the OVER 228.5 (-110).
