Prediction
Both sides are having some struggles heading into this game. On one side, the Suns are playing the second game of a back to back situation here and they are minus several rotation pieces for this one. On the other side, the Nets suffered a hard to take defeat in the game against the Wizards. But playing at home works in the Nets’ favour here. Therefore, I expect Brooklyn to have the upper hand in this contest as they get back to winning ways.
