Prediction published on 31/01/2024, 05:41  by Kennedy Kechula in NBA Predictions

The Brooklyn Nets will be at home to welcome the Phoenix Suns for their next NBA regular season matchup. They come into this match sitting 11th in the Eastern Conference while the Suns are sixth in the West. The Nets have won their last two games. They will now seek to win three in a row for the first time since December. Jacque Vaughn’s men have struggled for form throughout the year and at the moment are eight games below .500. Before their recent upturn in fortunes, Brooklyn had won just two of their previous 14 fixtures. The Atlantic Division franchise is coming off a dominant 147-114 victory over the Jazz. This was their highest points tally of the season. Ben Simmons made his return against the Jazz after more than two months out and had himself a double-double with 10 points. He is listed as ‘Probable’ for the Suns visit. Dorian Finney-Smith and Day’Ron Sharpe are out. The Nets are averaging 114 points a contest which is best for 20th place in this category.

The Suns got back to winning ways last time out after a two-game skid. Frank Vogel’s men were 118-105 winners over the Heat in Miami to record their 27th win in 47 outings. It was their first win of this current six-game road trip in the East. Phoenix are out for revenge here after they lost the first matchup of the season with the Nets at home. Bradley Beal is available despite having a nasal fracture. He scored 19 points and provided a further seven assists in the win over the Heat. Grayson Allen and Bol Bol are both listed as ‘Questionable’ for this trip to Brooklyn while Damion Lee is ruled out. The Suns sit in the top 15 in both offence and defence. They are averaging 116.4 points a night and giving up 114.2.
