Phoenix Suns

The Phoenix Suns have started the 2021 season 2-4 with 3-3 ATS, largely without their leading scorer Devin Booker who has only played two games thus far. As a result of their early-season adversity, Victor Wembanyama had a breakout performance for 38 points in a game against the Suns which they unfortunately lost. Despite this loss and others, Phoenix features a talented team with 2022 First Team All-NBA player Devin Booker, 16th season veteran Kevin Durant, third scorer Eric Gordon, Grayson Allen, Jusuf Nurkic, and Josh Okogie. The Suns rank 15th in the league in pace, 8th in field goal percentage, 8th in free throw percentage, 11th in three-point percentage, 15th in rebounds, 25th in free throw percentage, 4th in three-pointers allowed, 18th in defensive assists, 26th in turnovers, and have an overall power ranking of 11.

Detroit Pistons Look to Cause an Upset against Phoenix Suns on Sunday

The Detroit Pistons have the potential to surprise opponents this season, beginning on Sunday when they face the Phoenix Suns. The Pistons boast a blend of young talent and increasing roster depth, which gives their lineup the flexibility to capitalise on whoever is in form. Ausar Thompson brings elite defensive ability while Joel Embiid provides further experience. The Suns are not as fortunate, lacking depth and options beyond their stars. This makes Detroit an attractive underdog to bet on. The Suns also face the added challenge of a back-to-back away game, with little rest and less time to plan for Detroit. Therefore, take the points with the Pistons.
