Nets vs. Suns Player Prop #1: Kyrie Irving Over 27.5 Points (-120)

Kyrie Irving has had a strong season as he currently ranks 14th in the NBA in scoring. The Brooklyn star is averaging 25.6 points per game while shooting 48.0% from the field, 35.6% from three-point range, and 90.2% from the free-throw line. Irving has scored at least 28 points in 14 of his 32 games played this season. Look for the seven-time All-Star to take advantage of a struggling opponent and once again finish with at least 28 points.

Nets vs. Suns Player Prop #2: Deandre Ayton Over 9.5 Points (-115)

Deandre Ayton is currently 16th in the league in rebounding, averaging 9.7 rebounds per game. Ayton has finished with at least 10 rebounds in 21 of his 39 games played this season. Facing a Brooklyn team that lacks size and currently ranks 28th in the league in rebounding, Ayton should be in line for another big night on the boards. Look for the Phoenix Suns center to finish with at least ten rebounds.

Nets vs. Suns Player Prop #3: Ben Simmons Over 7.5 Rebounds (-130)

While there has been plenty of focus on Ben Simmons' struggles this season, he has thrived as a passer. The Brooklyn Nets star is currently 17th in the NBA in assists as he has averaged 6.3 assists per game. Simmons has finished with at least eight assists in 14 of his 32 games played this season. Furthermore, he has topped double-digit assists in both games he has played since Kevin Durant's injury, averaging 12.0 assists per game over that span. Look for Simmons to once again finish with at least eight assists.
