IST in Footprint Arena. Below are our key betting tips, public trends, head-to-head matchups, and vital injuries to create a potential outcome for this matchup.
Phoenix Suns vs Nets Betting Tips & Predictions
1. Phoenix Suns vs Brooklyn Nets Moneyline Pick
As the moneyline in this game is at -280 for Phoenix, they should definitely win it because of their super-stardom over Brooklyn. With Tyus Jones and Devin Booker leading their backcourt, this duo should have another monstrous performance against Cam Thomas plus Dennis Schroeder. Having Kevin Durant back against Dorian Finney-Smith and Bradley Beal creating a easier one against Cam Johnson, their wings should really have a dominating night. Having a center like Jusuf Nurkic who has great strength to rebound, he will easily out-number Nic Claxton. All in all, the -280 moneyline for Phoenix should be taken as their 2nd straight vs this Nets squad.
2. Phoenix Suns vs Brooklyn Nets Point Spread Pick
With the Suns having a -6.5 spread during this matchup, they should win it as a much stronger unit. Led by Tyus Jones at point guard, his ability to pass and really drive in has uplifted this Suns offense a lot. As he goes against a somewhat weaker plus much slower defender in Dennis Schroeder, Jones should have easy looks at the basket while finding one of his offensive threats for great looks. Having a great ability to steal passes and causes deflections as well, the Suns guard will continue making easy turnovers into transition points against a guard like Schroeder. As Devin Booker remains the Suns shooting guard, his greatness as a scorer from outside or in will not be stopped by Cam Thomas. Even though Thomas will try and match him on the offensive end with his own prowess, it won’t be enough as Booker is also known to come up strong defensively in crunch time. With Bradley Beal being one of this squad’s main two-way pieces, he should dominate Cameron Johnson as a much more athletic forward. Causing Johnson to shoot a lot more uncomfortably threes and creating moves on him to get into space will be two vital components off Bradley Beal’s game in this matchup. Having Kevin Durant being an unstoppable fade-away shooter to guard, it will be a very tough time for Dorian Finney-Smith to handle. With Jusuf Nurkic being a much strong board-getter and finisher than Nic Claxton, this -6.5 spread looks perfect.
3. Phoenix Suns vs Brooklyn Nets Over/Under Pick (Total Points)
The over/under in this game is at 220 points and should be pretty high-scoring due to both rosters having solid pieces on their offense. Even though Phoenix will carry a lot of this line, Brooklyn has provided one of the more underrated backcourts in basketball with their shooting guard turning into a scoring star. Having a point guard who can drive in and hit deep threes, their small forward has also shown elite prowess as a top long-range shooter. Having a center that can put up layups, this Nets squad has a couple bench pieces who could add to their value. Meanwhile, Phoenix should have a very solid point guard once again that can provide inside with speed, while their shooting guard is nearly impossible to defend. Having a small forward/power forward combo like this Suns unit is a nightmare for most opposing squads as they have two high-powered offensive scoring stars. With a center who continues being a strong force inside and a great three-point shooter as their sixth man, this score will be a little lower than their 256 combined points last time but not too much.
Phoenix Suns vs Brooklyn Nets Top Player Props
Devin Booker over 25.5 points at 1.80: Seeing that the Suns guard continues being one of the most prolific all-around shooters, his prowess should continue with more attention going on Kevin Durant or Devin Booker. As he gets a mismatch against Cam Thomas, Booker should really have a huge advantage against Brooklyn’s star to create any shot he wants. Someone who is averaging 24.1 points a night, he should hit the over in this game with ease.
Cam Thomas over 24.5 points at 1.95: Knowing that Cam Thomas has been an elite inside plus outside scorer who can finish with strength, he will have another huge night. Going up against a less-efficent and regressing defender in Devin Booker, Thomas should continue have a dominating performance on offense. As Thomas has averaged 24.8 points a night this season, he should continue improving upon that in this matchup.
Phoenix Suns vs Brooklyn Nets Injury News & Impact
Phoenix Suns Injuries: With both Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal set to return in this matchup, the Suns don’t have any other current injuries allowing them to run with similar rotations originally planned under coach Mike Budenholzer.
Brooklyn Nets Injuries: As Bojan Bogandovic, 15.2 points, remains out due to his knee injury, this group will have to still play a much younger Jalen Wilson as the backup small forward. Seeing that Noah Clowney, 7.5 points, could be out due to a left ankle injury, they will have to rely on a piece like Dorian Finney-Smith to play extended minutes as Brooklyn’s regular starter. With Ben Simmons and Dennis Schroeder returning as these teams two point guards, they should have a lot more depth in the backcourt to support Cam Thomas.
Phoenix Suns vs Nets Head-to-Head Trends
With the Suns winning the last matchup, they hope to continue building on a new streak as Phoenix is much more favorable in this game against Brooklyn. Seeing that the Suns have scored over 100 points in 8 straight head-to-head’s against Brooklyn and averaged 124 over their last two, this group should have another huge offensive output. As Phoenix is 4-1 against the spread vs Brooklyn in their last 5 matchups, they should try and improve this record even more.

Phoenix Suns vs Nets Match Prediction
As the Phoenix Suns enter this game, they finally have their full load back and should have an easy victory against a weaker opponent in Brooklyn. Looking at all their star power and great ability to dominate both ends, this Suns unit will be led by a stud in Tyus Jones at PG. With Jones having been a great passer that can create for others, his amazing ability to dribble for inside shots is hard to defend. Going up against a slower defender in Dennis Schroeder, he should have his way as a combo guard while also being a great player on the other. As Schroeder’s handles haven’t been the greatest this season, Jones can create a lot of deflections and lose balls for turnovers down the other end. Knowing that they have Devin Booker at shooting guard, his ability to create a strong combination with Tyus Jones is something to look up too. As Booker continues knocking down great shots from perimeter areas and really can finish his mid-range jumpers as well, his matchup against Cam Thomas should continue letting him score at ease again. But, the one factor here is that Thomas will provide his own offense and Booker is the one who will have to come up the bigger play in crunch time as a slightly stronger defender than Cam Thomas.
With Bradley Beal coming back as this teams small forward, he will continue his prowess on both ends against Cameron Johnson. Although Johnson can shoot more threes than him, the key with Beal is that he is a much better all-around scorer that can also rebound at a more efficient rate. Knowing that Beal is a vital piece for mid-range shooting that can also create great looks from outside, his ability to create steals and traps will cause the Nets small forward to miss a few extra shots in this game. In addition, Kevin Durant will continue being a strong offensive piece that will score at his own will against Dorian Finney-Smith. As Jusuf Nurkic continues being a vital board getter on this squad, he should control Nic Claxton with strength and muscle. Having big-tim bench pieces like Grayson Allen will help Pheonix, but Brooklyn can keep it close if Noah Clowney can continue knocking down long-range shots.
Our prediction: Phoenix Suns win and cover their -6.5 spread, while the score goes over 220 points.
