Kevin Durant will play for Brooklyn, while it's a fourth straight quality road opponent for Phoenix -- which looked a bit out of gas Thursday in Boston. The Suns also will be without Jae Crowder and Dario Saric. Barring Durant leaving again in the first quarter like he did last Sunday, the Nets should win.

The Nets have been average on the road but are a sparkling 24-7 at home. They are expected to receive some reinforcements for this game with Kevin Durant (thigh) listed as probable. On the other side of things, the Suns will be shorthanded at power forward with Jae Crowder (ankle) and Dario Saric (ankle) both out. Look for the Nets to pull out a win on their home floor and cover this small number along the way.
