The money has been on the Over as it opened 8.5 @ -125 before it was bet up to 8.5 @ -140.

Key Factors

Favors Over

Chris Paul has tallied 31.2 minutes per game this year, some of the highest playing time of any player in the NBA: 82nd percentile.
The Nets have played at the 10th-quickest pace in the NBA over the last 5 games at home, which should lead to increased possessions for the Suns.
The Phoenix Suns have been the 5th-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA away from home this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore lead to additional chances for scoring and assists).

Favors Under

Chris Paul has totaled just 8.5 assists per game this year, quite a bit lower than his 10.4 assists per game last year.
Chris Paul has been called for 2.3 personal fouls per game this year, making him one of the most most-whistled players in the NBA (76th percentile).
The Phoenix Suns have played at the 5th-most lethargic pace in the league on the road this year.
The Nets have given up the least offensive rebounds per game (12.3) in the league to the other team over the last 15 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore lead to fewer opportunities for scoring and assists).
