NBA Preview: Nets vs Suns with Injury Updates and Predictions

The Brooklyn Nets (12-32) are visiting the Phoenix Suns (27-19) in an NBA game scheduled for Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET at the Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix. The Suns aim to bounce back after two consecutive losses, including a recent defeat to the Miami Heat, while the Nets are struggling with a five-game losing streak, their last game ending in a loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. The Suns lead the season series 1-0 after winning their previous matchup in Brooklyn 126-117. Both teams face injury concerns: Suns star Devin Booker is ruled out with a right ankle sprain and Jalen Green is questionable due to a right hamstring injury. For the Nets, Cam Thomas is probable with a left ankle sprain, and Nolan Traore is probable despite illness. Other players are listed as questionable or out. The betting predictions favor the Suns to win with a score of 112-105. The Nets are considered underdogs with a +8.5 spread, and the game is predicted to go over the total of 210.5 points. The Nets have been inconsistent, alternating between large losses and covering spreads, while the Suns, strong at home (14-6), seek to secure a season sweep against the Nets. Key factors include the Suns' offensive performance without Booker and Green, and their defensive effort to contain the Nets' offense, particularly Michael Porter Jr. If the Suns' defense is disciplined and they limit turnovers, they are expected to prevail and improve their standing. The game will be broadcast on Arizona’s Family 3TV and radio on KMVP 98.7.
