The Suns traded Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets, while Bradley Beal was waived and signed with the LA Clippers. Devin Booker is back to being the main star, with a new cast of teammates like Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks and Mark Williams.
On the other hand, the Nets acquired Michael Porter Jr. from the Denver Nuggets in exchange for Cam Johnson. Porter will be the team's star player, with Cam Thomas and Egor Demin as his co-stars.

Phoenix Suns vs. Brooklyn Nets Prediction
The Suns have the better roster than the Nets heading into this preseason game. However, it's the preseason, so coaches are going to use the opportunity to find the right combination of players and lineups.
The result doesn't matter in a way, but they have to step up a little because they are playing in China for the first time in six years. Fans are paying money to see them, so a collective effort could be in place. Nevertheless, the prediction is a win for the Suns.
