Phoenix Suns vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/22/25

The Phoenix Suns will travel to Brooklyn Wednesday night to take on the Nets as heavy road favorites. The Suns have been winning games lately, winning 6 of their last 9 games, but are coming off a 118-92 defeat against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Kevin Durant led the Suns in scoring with 23 points, but Phoenix could not slow down Donovan Mitchell and the Cavaliers offense. Tonight’s game will be the fifth and final game of the Suns’ current road trip. The Brooklyn Nets will try to defend home court tonight. They have a record of 5-13 at home this season. Brooklyn has struggled as of late, losing 9 of their last 10 games. Since December 1, 2024, the Nets only have managed to win 5 games. Brooklyn is coming off a 99-95 defeat to the New York Knicks. D’Angelo Russell led Brooklyn with 23 points and Nic Claxton pulled in 12 rebounds. The Nets are currently without Cam Thomas, Bojan Bogdanovic, and Ziaire Williams due to injury. They may see Ben Simmoms return from illness tonight.

The Brooklyn Nets are desperate to find a way to win a game on their home court. The Nets have lost 8 straight games played in Brooklyn, and they came very close to breaking that streak against the tough New York Knicks. If the Nets want to make tonight’s game competitive, they will need to put up a better offensive performance than they have produced lately. The Nets are only averaging 100.3 points per game in their last 10 games. Cameron Johnson is this team’s current offensive leader, averaging 19.4 points per game. Matching up against the Suns defense that ranks in the bottom 10 in the NBA in points allowed per game and points allowed per 100 possessions should be a good opportunity for the Nets offense. Phoenix has found ways to win basketball games this season, but they have made a habit of letting games stay close. Out of the Suns 21 victories this season, only 3 of those games were won by 10 or more points. 2 of those 3 double-digit victories were only by 10 points. I expect another close contest tonight.
