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).

Phoenix Suns at Brooklyn Nets odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Phoenix Suns at Brooklyn Nets odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The 3rd game of a 5-game road trip for the Phoenix Suns (29-26) is Tuesday against the Brooklyn Nets (32-21). Tip-off is 7:30 p.m. ET at Barclays Center (TNT). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Suns vs. Nets odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Suns are expected to have G Devin Booker, who has missed 43 games with a groin injury, back in the lineup. They are 2-0 on their road trip so far, coming off a 116-100 win over the Detroit Pistons on Saturday as 4.5-point favorites. They have won 8 of their last 10 games.

The Nets shook things up by trading G Kyrie Irving to the Dallas Mavericks. They covered the 8.5-point spread as underdogs, but lost 124-116 at home Monday to the Los Angeles Clippers. They are 5-4 in their last 9 games but 5-8 in their last 13.

The Suns beat the Nets 117-112 in Phoenix on Jan. 19 as 3.5-point underdogs.

Suns at Nets picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 119, Nets 110

Moneyline

The Suns get back their best player while they are playing better basketball. They have won 3 straight road games and 8 of their last 10 games overall.

The Nets needed a monster effort from Irving in their loss to the Suns in Phoenix to get back into the game, trailing by 20 points entering the final quarter. The Nets are 5-8 in their 13 games without Durant in the lineup.

Expect the Suns to pick up the win, but with the line at -190, the spread is the better play.

PASS.

Against the spread

While the Suns are 10-17 on the road straight up, they are 14-13 ATS away from home and have covered the spread in their last 3 road games.

The Nets are 26-25-2 ATS overall, but 12-12-1 ATS at home. They have covered the spread in 7 of their last 10 games overall.

Brooklyn is 0-6 ATS in its last 6 Tuesday games, while the Suns are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games after allowing 100 or more in the previous 1.

BET SUNS -4.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The 1st meeting between the 2 teams had 229 total points as the 220.5 Over cashed. The Over is 7-1 in the Suns’ last 8 matchups against teams with a winning record and the Over is 6-1-1 in the Nets’ last 8 games.

However, because the spread is so small there is better value for them to win by margin.

PASS.

Memphis Grizzlies at Phoenix Suns odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Memphis Grizzlies at Phoenix Suns odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Memphis Grizzlies (31-14) visit the Phoenix Suns (23-24) Sunday. Tip-off from Footprint Center is set for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Grizzlies vs. Suns odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Grizzlies are coming off a heartbreaking 122-121 loss on Friday vs. the Los Angeles Lakers (+6) which ended a season-long 11-game win streak. A big part of that loss was the Grizzlies’ 2nd-half collapse defensively, as they allowed 73 points, and 41 in the 4th quarter alone.

The Suns are coming off a Saturday night 112-107 win vs. the Indiana Pacers as 2.5-point road favorites. The Suns, despite being shorthanded due to injury, have won 2 straight after losing 3 in a row.

This is the 4th and final meeting of the regular season between the teams, with the Grizzlies winning twice (by 25 and 30 points) and the Suns once (by 17).

Grizzlies at Suns picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 122, Suns 111

Moneyline

AVOID.

The Grizzlies should win this game as they have the edge in nearly every major statistical category besides FT%. Despite being the away team, the Grizzlies are heavily favored. This is due to the amount of injuries the Suns have and the Grizzlies being among the best teams in the Western Conference right now. Expect the Grizzlies to win, but the moneyline here is too rich to bet on.

Against the spread

LEAN GRIZZLIES -9.5 (-105).

Trends in both the recent games between these teams and individual games suggest that the Grizzlies covering the spread should be the slightly safer bet. The Suns are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games playing on no rest, and the Grizzlies are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 games vs. the Suns. The Grizzlies, however, are also 1-4 ATS in their last 5 against teams with losing records.

Over/Under

BET OVER 232.5 (-110).

The Over is 8-1 in the Grizzlies last 9 overall and is 4-1 in the Suns last 5 overall. Despite the Suns being shorthanded, their lack of defense and surprisingly solid offense has been enough to carry the Over, and expect that to continue in this game.

Pacers at Suns picks and predictions

Prediction

Pacers 118, Suns 114

Moneyline

PASS.

I like Indiana here, but they’re getting too many points and would preferably play the spread.

Against the spread

BET PACERS +5.5 (-110).

Indiana has slumped lately, but it should match up well with Phoenix. For starters, C Myles Turner should be able to neutralize C Deandre Ayton, who will be a key offensive player with Booker out. Turner is averaging 3.6 blocks per game this month.

The Suns rank 22nd in the NBA in opponents’ 3-point shooting (36.4%). The Pacers are a 3-point-heavy team with G Buddy Hield. They rank 6th in 3-point field goal attempts per game.

The Pacers have rewarded bettors this season as they are 26-21 ATS. Despite a recent slump, back the PACERS +5.5 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 229.5 (-110).

The Pacers play at the 4th-highest pace in the NBA, and their 3-point shooting should bounce back given the absence of Johnson and Booker. They have gone Over in 4 of their last 6 as well, scoring at least l10 in 3 of their last 5.

The Suns have scored at least 115 in 2 of their last 3 and have gone Over the projected total in 3 straight, topping it in 4 of their last 5 as well. Considering both trends, back the OVER 229.5 (-110).

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.

G Chris Paul (hip) out

Grizzlies

G Ja Morant (hip) questionable

For most recent updates: Official NBA injury report.

Suns at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 122, Suns 108

Moneyline

PASS.

The Suns without their 2 best players are not worth a play, even at (+410).

Against the spread

BET GRIZZLIES -10.5 (-110).

The Suns without Paul and Booker on the road against 1 of the best teams in the West is not a recipe for success. The Suns have lost 8 of their last 9 games and have lost 4 of those by double figures.

Against Morant and the Griz at home, this should be a blowout. The Grizzlies rank 6th in points per game (117.1) and 1st in opponents’ FG percentage (44.3%). They have the talent on both sides of the court to wear down a short-handed Suns side.

Back GRIZZLIES -10.5 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 228.5 (-110).

The Grizzlies have gone Over in 6 straight games and have scored at least 120 points in 6 straight, having 130 or more points in 3 of their last 6. They rank 4th in pace and are at home, so they will undoubtedly want this to be a high-tempo game.

The Suns have gone Over in 2 of their last 3 as well. Expect the Griz to push the pace, and the Suns, who have scored at least 115 in 2 of their last 3, should keep up.

Back the OVER 228.5 (-110).
