Betting on the Phoenix Suns
- Regular Season Record: 30-26
The Phoenix Suns moved to second place on the bookmakers’ list of favorites to win the NBA title (+500) after signing Kevin Durant, behind only the Boston Celtics.
Durant is still recovering from a knee injury and for now the expectation is that he could be ready to make his Suns debut within two to three weeks. Along with Durantula, T.J. Warren arrived in Phoenix in exchange for Mikal Bridges, Cameron Johnson and several first-round draft picks.
It is worth mentioning that Devin Booker will rest Thursday night against the Atlanta Hawks, but will return to action in this Friday’s game against the Indiana Pacers.
Betting on the Indiana Pacers
- Season record: 25-31
The Pacers were anticipated to be one of the most active teams at the trade deadline, but ultimately did not move either Buddy Hield or Myles Turner, two of the most coveted players on the market.
Indiana has George Hill and Jordan Nwora as the new faces (in turn, Serge Ibaka was released from the roster after being acquired). Curiously, Goga Bitadze was released to open a place in the roster to incorporate a new player. It should be noted that considering the Pacers have Tyrese Haliburton, Andrew Nembhard and T.J. McConnell it is possible that Hill could also be released to sign with a contending team.
JefeBet Prediction
The Suns defeated the Pacers 112-107 last January, even though Devin Booker, Chris Paul and DeAndre Ayton were unavailable for the game.
Considering that the Suns will have those three stars in this game at JefeBet we are leaning towards a win for the team led by Monty Williams, who are anxiously awaiting the moment when Kevin Durant joins the equation.
Prediction: Phoenix Suns Spread.
