Phoenix Suns had a disappointing season. Deandre Ayton signed a record-breaking contract with the Pacers. Devin Booker and JaVale McGee signed long-term contracts with Suns. Suns are two years off an NBA Finals appearance.

The Suns expect to compete for an NBA Championship this season. They are coming into the season with the highest win total in the West, at 52.5 wins. Chris Paul is entering the twilight of his career, and at 36-years-old, this may be his last chance at a ring. Devin Booker, Jae Crowder, Cameron Johnson and DeAndre Ayton round out the Suns' 'Big 3'.

The Suns have a tough schedule, with seven of their first nine games in Arizona. They play against the Rockets, Portland and the Grizzlies. The Suns are ending the season at home, and they are aiming for the playoffs.

Phoenix Suns are joint highest odds to win the Western Conference No. 1 seed at +350. Suns won the division last season at -200. They are a virtual shoe-in to make the playoffs at -2200. The Suns have a label on them as postseason chokers despite making it to the Finals in 2021.

Phoenix Suns will finish above 50 wins for the third straight season. Paul will be forced to hand over the team to Ayton and Booker. The Suns are expected to win the first round or two of the playoffs. However, they will fall short of their potential.
