The Brooklyn Nets and Phoenix Suns face each other for the second time this season. The first clash took place last January and the visitors narrowly prevailed 117-112 in front of their home crowd
For the Suns, it was their third successive win in this pairing. For the next edition of Brooklyn vs Phoenix, here’s a tip from today and current betting odds.
Brooklyn Nets – Statistics & current form
The New Yorkers are currently without their top scorer Kevin Durant. Without KD, the home side are clearly weakened and now Kyrie Irving has also gone off the board.
The eight-time All-Star moves to Dallas and in return the Nets get two powerful players in Dorian Finney-Smith and Spencer Dinwiddie, but without “Uncle Drew” Brooklyn can hardly be called a contender this season.
Phoenix Suns – Statistics & current form
The Valley basketball team, much like their opponents, are also currently without their leading scorer in the person of Devin Booker.
The franchise from Arizona was without “Book” in the Western Conference, but has recently regained its composure. Head coach Monty Williams’ squad has eight wins from the past ten games.
Brooklyn Nets – Phoenix Suns Pick
For the clash between the Brooklyn Nets and Phoenix Suns, the tip aims for an away win with at least a five-point difference.
The home side will be shorthanded, with the injured Kevin Durant and the recently departed Kyrie Irving both missing top players.
The visitors have also stabilised recently and this also applies to their chronically weak upward performances: The Suns have won three of their last three games, including a victory over the first-placed team in the East, Boston!
