Phoenix Suns vs Brooklyn Nets preview

The Suns were primed to be one of the best teams in the league after a great start to the season. However, when Kevin Durant was ruled out for 10 games with injuries to his ankle and calf, they slid down the standings.

Phoenix is coming off of a 118-92 blowout loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday. Durant led the team with 23 points and seven rebounds, while Devin Booker had 15 points.

The Nets, meanwhile, are going through a rebuild and are actively looking to trade players for future assets. They have lost four straight games and nine of the past 10. They are just 5-13 at home, which doesn’t bode well for their game on Wednesday.

The Nets, though, showed some fight against the New York Knicks on Tuesday before losing 99-95. D’Angelo Russell led the team with 23 points and 10 assists, while Cameron Johnson had 16 points.

Phoenix Suns vs Brooklyn Nets betting props

Kevin Durant’s points total is set at 26.5, which is slightly under his season average of 27.3. He has crossed the 26.5-point mark just once in the past three games. Thus, expect him to have a great game against Brooklyn and go over on the prop.

Meanwhile, D’Angelo Russell’s points total is set at 14.5. He has played in seven games for the Nets since being traded by the LA Lakers. His best performance so far came on Tuesday. With Russell finally hitting some form, take the over on this bet.

Phoenix Suns vs Brooklyn Nets prediction

The oddsmakers highly favor the Suns to blow out the Nets. While we expect a Phoenix win as well, it might fail to cover the spread. It should be a competitive game, with the team total staying just under 220 points.
