Experts Make Spread, Over/Under and Player Prop Picks for Suns-Nets

The Phoenix Suns hope to extend their winning streak to three games when they take on the Brooklyn Nets later tonight, and some major help is on the way.

Shooting guard Devin Booker has played just 29 games thus far after straining his groin, yet the wait for his return is over after the Suns confirmed he's expected to play tonight.

Booker now joins a mostly healthy starting lineup of Chris Paul, Cam Johnson, Mikal Bridges and Deandre Ayton, one that flexed their muscles early in the season before the barrage of injuries occurred.

The Nets - now without Kyrie Irving after trading him to the Dallas Mavericks - are +7.5 point underdogs heading on SI Sportsbook.

Here's some prop bets picked by experts across the web:

Covers.com Says Take the Over

Malcolm R. Banks: "Booker is the engine of this Phoenix offense. He's among the best players in the NBA, and very few around the NBA match his ability to score. His presence on the court tonight will alter how the Nets play defense on everyone around Booker. They won't be able to throw additional help defenders if DeAndre Ayton or Chris Paul get going early.

"Tonight should be a very interesting battle, and despite the Sun's ability to hunker down on defense, this Thomas surge isn't over yet. The Over is 7-1 in the Suns' last eight vs. a team with a winning straight-up record. I'm banking on a shootout in Brooklyn tonight.

"My best bet: Over 225 (-110 at FanDuel)"

DraftKings Takes Suns With the Spread

Ryan Sanders: "The Suns have slowly started to turn things around over the last couple of weeks as they continued to adapt to life without Booker. They went 10-11 in the stretch since Booker’s last appearance on Christmas Day, although the majority of those losses came in late December and early January. They’ve now won (and covered) eight of their last 10 outings and should only continue to get better with Booker’s return.

"The Nets have now lost two of their last three games as they’ve been without Kyrie Irving for their last two since announcing his blockbuster trade to the Dallas Mavericks. On top of their other absences, they’ll still be without Kevin Durant (knee), who hasn’t played since January 8.

"Take the surging Suns to get the win and cover in Brooklyn tonight as the Nets will still need time to adjust to a squad without Irving, especially before both Dinwiddie and Finney-Smith are able to see the floor."
