Slow pace leads to low-scoring game
Both of these teams are in the bottom 10 in terms of pace. While neither defence has been elite by results-based stats, their underlying metrics are strong. Shotquality.com places both the Nets and Suns in the top 13 in shot quality conceded.
As of Monday, the Suns have seen their last three games go under this total. Brooklyn have been involved in some shootouts of late, but the under has still hit in half of their regular-season outings this term.
This is a good starting point with Suns vs Nets tips.
Bet 1: Under 225.5 total points
Nets benefit from rest advantage
There’s a good chance the Suns give Bradley Beal the night off. It’s the second night of a back-to-back for Phoenix, which could mean they will be cautious with Devin Booker and Kevin Durant’s minutes, too.
Brooklyn are a high-energy team, and have consistently played well with minimal rest. They have excellent depth, and their core rotation players are considerably younger than their counterparts on the Suns.
The Suns might have won the two head-to-head contests last season, but this is the first meeting in 2023-24, and we’re expecting a big performance from Brooklyn.
Bet 2: Brooklyn Nets moneyline
Bridges steps up against former team
There doesn’t seem to be any bad feeling between Mikal Bridges and the Suns after he was the centrepiece of the Durant deal. Bridges, though, will be keen to perform against his former team.
Having begun to breakout with the Suns last season, Bridges has evolved into a lead ball handler and scores 23 points per game. The matchup with Durant will have a significant impact on the outcome of this game.
As of Monday morning, Bridges has cleared this line in six of his last eight games.
Bet 3: Mikal Bridges over 21.5 points
Gordon hits his outside shots
Shooting a shade under 41% from three for the season, Eric Gordon has proven to be a valuable addition to the Suns. The former Rocket is firing almost seven three-point attempts per game. He’s playing his most minutes since 2015-16.
It’s not just Gordon’s stats that make this over a good bet, however. The Nets are also in the bottom 10 in opponent three-point frequency – 38% of opponent shots come from beyond the arc. Gordon has been hot from downtown at home of late, going 10-for-23 over his last three at Footprint Center.
Bet 4: Eric Gordon over 2.5 made threes
