Nets at Suns picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 118, Nets 114

Moneyline

The Suns welcomed back G Bradley Beal on Tuesday and he scored 16 points in his 1st game back after missing 12 in a row with a back injury.

The Suns have won the last 4 meetings with the Nets.

Hitting the 110-point mark has been critical for Phoenix. They have won 9 of the last 10 games they have scored 110 or more. They are 1-6 when they scored fewer than 110 and have dropped 6 in a row.

The Nets allow an average of 114.0 points per game.

I like the Suns for the win but with a small spread and slightly better odds at -105 than the -140 on the ML, go with the spread.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Nets are 16-5-1 ATS this season. Two of their last 3 losses have been by fewer than 3 points. All but 1 of the Suns' wins this season are by at last 3 points.

BET SUNS -2.5 (-105).

Over/Under

The Over is 3-0 in the last 3 meetings between the Suns and Nets and 5-1 in the last 6.

Three of the Nets' last 5 games have surpassed 227 total points while only 2 of the Suns' last 6 games have surpassed 227 total points. But the average total for the Suns this season is 228.4 and it is 231.0 for the Nets.

BET OVER 227.5 (-110).
