Betting on the Phoenix Suns
- Season record: 33-29
The Suns have successfully bounced back from a very poor start to 2023 with the return of Devin Booker and Chris Paul, who have helped the team climb to fourth place in the Western Conference. What’s more, things are expected to improve now that their big recruit, Kevin Durant, is back from a long injury.
Despite having been on the injured list a couple of times, Durant has had a great campaign, averaging 29.7 points, 5.3 assists and 6.7 rebounds in the 39 games he played for the Brooklyn Nets. in the first half of the season, so he will be a big help to a Booker who at 26.5 points scored per game was the only member of the team with more than 20.0 points per game.
That pairing, along with Paul, would be the league’s new lethal weapon, even more so considering the Suns are fifth best in the NBA defensively with an average of 111.3 points allowed per game and have limited opponents to 46.6 percent shooting from the field.
Betting on the Chicago Bulls
- Season record: 28-34
For their part, the Bulls ‘ already poor campaign just keeps getting worse, as not only do they find themselves out of the playoff spots after losing seven of their last nine prior to their March 1 meeting with the Pistons, but they also now know that their slim hopes of having Lonzo Ball for any part of the campaign are gone.
The Windy City team is eleventh in the East, but 1.5 games away from the play-in positions, so they know they still have room to recover, but they must do it as quickly as possible. Being at home could help them in that goal, given that it is at the United Center where they have performed best, with an 18-13 record and an average of 114.4 points scored per game.
Improving on offense is precisely what they need, as in February they gave up a miserable average of 107.4 points scored per game. Any improvement in the Bulls’ offense will likely come thanks to DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine, who have led the team on offense with 25.1 and 24.1 points scored, respectively.
JefeBet Prediction
The Bulls’ offensive problems are more than noticeable, as although DeRozan and LaVine have good numbers, they are not enough to carry the team every night. On this occasion, they could have even more difficulties when facing one of the best defenses in the league as the Suns.
While the Bulls have also been solid on their side of the court recently, they will have a tough time stopping an offense consisting of Booker, Paul and Durant. Therefore, in this game we expect the Suns to show their new offensive strength, continue to look strong on defense and come away with a comfortable victory.
Prediction: Phoenix Suns Spread.
