Injuries Have Slowed Down The Nets
Building a team around three superstars like Brooklyn has in Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving has its drawbacks when it comes to roster depth. The Nets are a clear favorite to win the NBA championship with everyone on the floor. But with Irving only being eligible to play in road games due to his vaccination status, this team isn’t built to withstand many injuries and absences, and that’s exactly what they’ve been dealing with.
Durant (knee) and Joe Harris (ankle) are out indefinitely. LaMarcus Aldridge will miss Tuesday’s game with an ankle injury and James Harden is listed as questionable with a hand injury.
Brooklyn ended January on an 0-4 SU and 1-3 ATS skid and will be short-handed in this matchup against the Suns. On the bright side for bettors making Brooklyn their Nets vs Suns prediction, the Nets are 10-3 SU and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games against Phoenix.
Phoenix Has Been A Strong Bet As A Small Favorite
Phoenix had an impressive .708 win percentage during last season’s 51-21 SU regular season, and this year’s group is doing even better, winning at a .816 clip at 40-9 SU thus far. The Suns picked up their 10th straight win on Sunday with a 115-110 victory at home over the San Antonio Spurs. Devin Booker led the way on offense with 28 points.
Booker has been red-hot over the Suns’ current winning streak, averaging 31.7 points per game in the team’s last nine games. Phoenix failed to cover the spread as a 13.5-point favorite on Sunday, falling to 0-3 ATS in its last three games as a double-digit favorite. Suns backers will be happy to have a smaller spread to cover Tuesday night as Phoenix is 7-0 SU and ATS in its last seven games as a favorite of 9 points or less.
Nets vs Suns Pick & Insights
Nets: Keys To Cover
Getting James Harden back for this one would be a big help. But with or without Harden, Brooklyn will need a big game from Kyrie Irving and a strong group effort on defense to be a winning Nets vs Suns prediction against this hot and talented Suns group.
Suns: Keys To Cover
Phoenix just needs to keep playing its game to win as a Nets vs Suns pick here. The Suns have won their last 10 games by an average of 11 points per game, and against this injury-riddled Nets roster, the normal effort at home should be enough to pick up the win and cover.
