The minutes should stay the same for tonight’s game, while the shot attempts should go up. Bridges has attempted at least 15 shots in 2 of his last 4 games, and just had a 21-point game at Toronto a couple of games ago. It’s hard to find any flaws in this Miami defense, but the points have to come from somewhere for Phoenix. Ayton will have a tough time battling with Adebayo down low, so the 3-point line might be the only way Bridges does some damage. The Heat have allowed opponents to shoot 38. 5% from the perimeter in their last 3 games, that’s the 6th-worst mark in the NBA during that period.
They are only 8th in the West standings and with the news of Devin Booker missing at least a month with his groin injury, it’s hard to find any optimism if you’re a Suns fan. Cameron Payne and Cameron Johnson are both also out and they have scored just 88, 83, 104 and 102 points over their last 4 games. Tonight, they face a Miami Heat team that’s known for lockdown defense. Although the Heat lost their last game, they held the Lakers to just 112 points, a team that goes into the 120s and 130s on a regular basis.

The Heat rank 8th in defensive efficiency and they’ve been on an upward trajectory for a while now, winning 8 of their last 12 games. They also have the advantage in head-to-head meetings, beating the Suns 14 times in the last 20 games and covering 12 times in their last 14 visits to Footprint Center. Phoenix doesn’t have much going for them, so I expect the Heat to put their clamps down and win this one by double digits. Other than Deandre Ayton, Mikal Bridges might be the only reliable consistent scoring option the Suns have right now. He scored 15 points in the game against Miami earlier this season in 41 minutes played.
If you're looking for a bet just on which team will win the game, that's called a moneyline bet. Let's take another example game: Phoenix Suns -150 Los Angeles Lakers +130 In this example, the Suns again are the favorites. Think of moneyline like bets to win or get $100. On the Suns as a favorite, you'd have to bet $150 to win $100 at those -150 odds. For the Lakers side, if you bet $100 then you'd win $130 since they're underdogs.
Say, for example, that the Suns visited the Los Angeles Clippers and the oddsmakers set the total at 230 points. An over bettor would win if the teams combined for 231 or more points; an under bettor would win at 229 or fewer. If it finished at exactly 230, then it would be deemed a push and both sides would be refunded their bet. Suns Prop Bets The NBA is a player-driven league, and there are fewer more exciting players than Devin Booker, Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton. If you want to bet specifically on them to do something in a game, that's called a player prop bet. For example, a few Suns props include Booker to score over/under 25. 5 points, CP3 to record a double-double, and more. Suns Future Odds Expectations are high in Los Angeles with Chris Paul and Devin Booker on the team, which means bettors will have to shop for the best line to get good odds on Suns futures bets. Futures are bets that focus on long term outcomes, like the
