Phoenix vs. Charlotte

We see significant value in Phoenix as a +170 underdog, leveraging their 9-1 historical dominance over Charlotte and a clear rest advantage in this non-back-to-back spot. With Devin Booker in elite form following a 34-point performance and Dillon Brooks recently returned to the lineup, the Suns' core is positioned to exploit a Charlotte transition defense (ranked 27th in efficiency) that they have already defeated twice by double digits this season.
