Phoenix Suns Betting Preview
The Phoenix Suns have been in a real slump as they’ve lost eight of their last 11 games overall and they will be hoping to snap a two-game skid after getting beaten by the Hornets in a 127-107 road defeat on Thursday. Jalen Green led the team with 25 points and seven assists on 10 of 19 shooting; Devin Booker added 22 points with six assists, while Dillon Brooks and Grayson Allen each scored 13 points.
As a team, the Suns shot 46 percent from the field and 16 of 39 from the 3-point line as they got off to a great start with 41 points in the first quarter to take the early lead, but it didn’t last long at all as they were trailing at halftime after getting outscored by 33-19 in the second quarter. The Suns were still in striking distance but just couldn’t make the shots to keep pace with the Hornets, who pulled away in the second half. Collin Gillespie had a quiet game of just six points on two of seven shooting.

Collin Sexton led the team with 19 points off the bench; Leonard Miller added 14 points, while Tre Jones chipped in with 13 points and eight assists.

Phoenix Suns vs Chicago Bulls Prediction
The Suns are still missing Haywood Highsmith and they have Amir Coffey listed as questionable, while the Bulls have ruled out Zach Collins and Anfernee Simons with Josh Giddey and Nick Richards both questionable. These teams last met on Mar 5 and it was the Bulls who sneaked away with a 105-103 road win. You couldn’t trust either side with any confidence at the moment, but you have to say that the Bulls have been particularly bad lately and I expect the Suns to get some revenge in this spot.
