Prediction
The Suns have struggled lately as they have won only 1 of the last 10 games as they're still shorthanded and will be playing without 4 of their starters again. The Nets have also struggled without their best player in Kevin Durant but they will have Kyrie Irving back in the court which will be a huge help for the team.
