Suns Our NBA Pick vs Visiting Brooklyn Nets
Included in our NBA expert picks today is the Brooklyn Nets vs Phoenix Suns game.
The Suns are -2 favorites to beat the Eastern Conference team following a 119-116 win over the Golden State Warriors.
Brooklyn comes off a 131-118 loss to the Sacramento Kings, but there is solid betting support.
Here’s a look at some NBA betting to consider!
Nets Covering Spreads
There is good sports betting support for the Nets because of their impressive stats against the spread.
They are 16-5-1 ATS, which is tough to overlook. However, they haven’t had the hardest strength of schedule.
That’s our main concern as they prepare for the Suns, and although Phoenix is only 13-10, they’re a quality team.
They failed to cover the spread when losing 131-118 to the Kings, which was one of their worst performances so far.
If they can recover from it, they have a chance of keeping it close. However, it’s their second consecutive road game, which could take its toll.
Suns Get Back to Form
We expect most to have the Suns included in their best bets for NBA tonight.
They were impressive when beating the Warriors on Tuesday, and it was Devin Booker standing up with 32 points.
However, they almost blew a big lead late in the game, and not for the first time.
“Yeah, we’ve got to stop doing that,” Vogel said. “It’s getting old … That being said, we enjoy wins. That’s a good win.”
The Suns are only 10-12-1 ATS, which isn’t an ideal record, but they would be much better if they hadn’t blown many late leads.
Betting online markets have the Suns favored to win, which isn’t surprising. They start most games as favorites, and we thought they would be favored by more points.
Money could come for the Suns late, so the line could move on game night.
