Making an over/under bet on NBA action is a popular bet to make, especially when taking the over. Fans and sports bettors love to root for points to be scored, and the NBA usually delivers.

Here are three NBA games to focus on in betting the over on Sunday.

Phoenix Suns at Brooklyn Nets Preview

Suns vs. Nets Picks

Best Bet: Over 227.5

Two of the top teams in the league meet up in Brooklyn on Sunday when the Nets host the Suns. Both teams are loaded with talent, and this could be a high-scoring affair.

This has the potential to be an NBA Finals preview, and what a Finals series that would be. Both teams are averaging more than 114 points per game, and this line just feels too low.

Brooklyn is expected to get Kevin Durant back on the floor for Sunday’s game. His presence alone makes the Nets one of the most explosive teams in the NBA.

Phoenix loves to shoot the ball from deep, and Devin Booker is one of the best players in the league. The Suns can also win games with defense, but this team loves to score points.

It’s going to take at least 120 points to win this game, and it should be a close game throughout. These teams are going to combine for at least 130 points, and betting the over is the play.

NBA Betting Lines

Memphis Grizzlies at Portland Trail Blazers Preview

Grizzlies vs. Trail Blazers Picks

Best Bet: Over 235.5

Both Memphis and Portland average 114 points per game, which would put the total at 228. It would seem that the under is the right play, but neither team has been great defensively.

Memphis is allowing just 110 points per game, but stopping Portland is not an easy task. The Trail Blazers play fast, and they give up a ton of points each night.

This should be a close game, and that will also call for points being scored late. These teams won’t fly past the total, but betting the over is the right play.

Winning NBA Predictions

Sacramento Kings at Golden State Warriors Preview

Kings vs. Warriors Picks

Best Bet: Over 229.5

Two words: Stephen Curry. Any time Curry is on the floor, the over/under always has a good chance of going over.

Golden State is much better than Sacramento, but this has turned into a nice rivalry. The Kings want to play the role of spoiler, and they want to do it by scoring points.

The Warriors have struggled to get stops, and that’s going to affect this outcome. Curry will likely need another huge game, but 40 points are not out of the question.

There will be a ton of three-pointers shot on Sunday, and that always leads to more points. This game is going to go over 130 points, with the potential to go way over that number.
