Brooklyn Nets at Phoenix Suns Overview<br />

Brooklyn comes in on a low note after they were ransacked at Madison Square Garden by cross-town rival the New York Knicks on Wednesday. The Nets have had plenty of time to recuperate from the loss and should enter this fixture on more rest than the Suns.

Phoenix enters at a misleading 3-6, as they continue to look formidable despite their record suggesting otherwise. Most recently Detroit fell prey to the Suns in Scorch City when the Suns defeated the Pistons by a score of 107-100. The Suns as we have mentioned previously have gone toe-to-toe with the likes of teams like Oklahoma City and Golden State, heavily undervalued in both of those contests.

Brooklyn Nets at Phoenix Suns Prediction
Despite what went down on Wednesday, the Nets are undoubtedly a different basketball team. This franchise has adopted a new attitude and as a result they own some impressive wins on their resume even if they are 3-5. The Suns while they are an excellent basketball team in the own right, but they are 3-6 because their defense can’t finish games. Phoenix can score with the best of them but they can also give up as many points as they attain. Brooklyn will certainly take advantage of this but perhaps adapt a different approach limiting Phoenix’s possessions. As a result, the Under is an excellent play in this market against public perception. Given Phoenix’s lack of defense, this basketball team should not be spotting this quantity of points to anyone.
Free Pick:
Take Brooklyn +5 and Under 219 (Parlay)
