Phoenix Suns Betting
The Phoenix Suns are coming into this game with a 112-107 win against the Indiana Pacers. The Suns are one game behind the .500 mark with a 23-24 record on the season. Phoenix has been a disappointment this season and they are missing out on key players. Cam Johnson and Devin Booker are unable to contribute at present. DeAndre Ayton is trying to do his best for the Suns but is missing out on support. The Suns need to make up for their loss if they want to get to the top of the table.
All smiles tonight. 😃
