Phoenix Suns Betting Preview 

The Phoenix Suns have been in great form, as they’ve won nine of their last 12 games overall. They will be eager to bounce back in this one after having their three-game win streak halted by the Heat in a 127-121 road defeat on Tuesday. Dillon Brooks led the starters with 25 points on 11 of 24 shooting, Grayson Allen added 25 points on nine of 19 shooting, while Devin Booker tallied 24 points with nine rebounds and nine assists.

As a team, the Suns shot 43 percent from the field and 14 of 48 from the 3-point line as they dominated the third quarter by 38-21 to overcome an early 20-point deficit and lead by five points in the fourth quarter. They got outscored by 28-17 in the final 8:16 to allow the Heat off the hook. Royce O’Neale had a quiet game of just eight points on three of 10 shooting, while Jordan Goodwin shot just one of five from the field for his two points.

Meanwhile, the Detroit Pistons have been in decent shape lately as they’ve won four of their last six games overall and they were riding a three-game win streak before they ran into the Clippers in a 98-92 loss on Saturday. Duncan Robinson led the team in scoring with 20 points on seven of 10 shooting, Ronald Holland II added 16 points while Daniss Jenkins chipped in with 10 points but no other player scored more than nine points.

As a team, the Pistons shot just 40 percent from the field and eight of 35 from the 3-point line. They played excellent defense as the start of the game to limit the Clippers to just 14 points in the first quarter and lead by 19 points. However, they couldn’t make their shots in the second half, where they managed just 37 points to suffer one of their more disappointing losses of the season. Tolu Smith had a rough game as he shot just one of seven from the field for his nine points, while Javonte Green finished with just seven points in 33 minutes.

Phoenix Suns vs Detroit Pistons Prediction

The Suns have ruled out Jalen Green again with Devin Booker listed as questionable, while the Pistons expect to have a full squad for this one. The Suns are more than capable of pulling off the upset on the road, as they were on a great run before they lost a close one to the Heat in their last outing. However, the Pistons have all their players returning, most importantly Cade Cunningham, who has been in stellar form this season. This should be a close one, but in the end I have the Pistons pulling away for the win and cover at home.
