Betting on the Phoenix Suns
- Season record: 33-29
Suns fans are in absolute frenzy mode over the impending debut of Kevin Durant, who, let’s remember, came to the team just before the trade deadline from the Brooklyn Nets.
Durant injured his knee in early January but is now finally ready to join Devin Booker, Chris Paul and DeAndre Ayton in what many believe is now the favorite to win the championship this campaign.
Kevin Durant is averaging 29.7 points, 6.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists in the 2022-23 NBA season, and is expected to mesh quickly with his teammates and add to the quality of the quintet.
Betting on the Charlotte Hornets
- Season record: 19-43
The Hornets have defeated the Hawks, the Spurs, the Heat, and the Timberwolves in their current winning streak, which of course is a total surprise considering the poor level they have shown all season.
The Charlotte Hornets have already been eliminated from the playoffs, but finishing the season strong could help build a winning culture and give them more optimism heading into the next season. Additionally, there is always the possibility of the basketball gods favoring them with the first pick in the draft and Victor Wembanyama.
JefeBet Prediction
The Suns defeated the Hornets 128-97 in the previous meeting between the two in the current season, despite being without Devin Booker and DeAndre Ayton that day.
With Kevin Durant set to make his debut for the team from the desert, it’s hard to ask the Hornets to stop such a high level of talent in front of them. For this reason, at JefeBet we believe that the Suns will win without major problems and will manage to cover their betting line.
