Nets vs. Suns: Predictions, Odds, and Top NBA Prop Bets for Jan. 27
The Phoenix Suns will face the Brooklyn Nets on January 27, aiming for a season sweep against their rivals. However, they will be without star guard Devin Booker due to an ankle injury, which is set to sideline him for at least a week. The Suns are currently contending for a top-six seed in the Western Conference, but their performance without Booker has been concerning, as evidenced by their 1-4 record in games he has missed this season.
In their recent matchup, the Suns struggled offensively, averaging just 100.4 points per game without Booker. Despite this, they enter the game as favorites against a Nets team that has lost five consecutive games and nine of its last ten. The Nets are struggling in the Eastern Conference and may be incentivized to lose for a better draft position in the upcoming 2026 NBA Draft.
Nets vs. Suns: Betting Odds and Predictions
The Suns recently defeated the Nets by a nine-point margin and hope to replicate that success at home. This season, the Suns have a strong 14-6 record at home, but the absence of Booker could pose challenges in covering the spread.

Top Prop Bet
With Booker sidelined, Collin Gillespie has emerged as a key player for the Suns. He is averaging 13.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game this season while shooting 42.5% from three-point range. Consider betting on Gillespie to make over 2.5 three-pointers, as he has excelled in this area recently.
Final Prediction
Given Booker’s absence and the struggles of both teams, betting on the UNDER may be wise. The Suns have averaged just 100.4 points in games without Booker, and the Nets are last in the league in scoring, averaging just 107.9 points per game. With limited offensive firepower, the prediction leans towards the UNDER hitting at 210.5.
