Phoenix Suns vs Brooklyn Nets preview (Image via Fubo) On Saturday, January 27, the Phoenix Suns will play the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center. In the West, Phoenix has been gaining ground and making a comeback to the top of the playoff standings. On the other hand, the Nets, who are 17-26, are still unable to establish consistency on either end of the court. Hence, the market obviously favors the tourists.With a modest total of 211.5, the lowest on Saturday’s NBA schedule, the Suns are 8.5-point favorites on the road. Oddsmakers are predicting a slower, lower-scoring game due to Brooklyn’s offensive difficulties and Phoenix’s strengthened halfcourt defense.

Phoenix Suns vs Brooklyn Nets – Game Prediction
Over the past 25 games, the Suns have had the fourth-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA. They have given up the most points per game to opposition starting SFs in the league this season (19.5), thus the matchup against the Brooklyn Nets seems advantageous. It is quite easy to get to the free-throw line.This is because the opposing team’s starting SFs have attempted 3.9 free throws per game against the Brooklyn Nets this season. The Nets have the sixth-most aggressive offense in the NBA this season when it comes to three-point shooting. Opposing starting point guards have attempted an incredible 5.4 foul throws per game over the last five games, so the game against the Suns might be advantageous for getting to the foul line. Now, they seem ready for each other.
