Three Best Prop Bets for Suns-Blazers
PHOENIX -- It's another game day for the Phoenix Suns, which presents another opportunity for bettors across the league to lay some cold hard cash on notable names such as Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and others.
Three of the best prop bets we've seen across the web for when Phoenix hosts the Portland Trail Blazers tonight:
Covers.com: Kevin Durant Over 28.5 Points
AJ Salah: "Something has to be at play when one of the most consistent scorers in league history is seeing his total significantly below his season average, and almost five whole points below his average this month. That something is the blowout factor, given the Portland Trailblazers' 29th-ranked net rating, which explains the massive spread for tonight's game — sitting around -13 as of late Tuesday morning.
"But what the line might not be taking into consideration is Phoenix's standing in the NBA In-Season Tournament odds (oh yeah, get ready for the funky courts tonight). The Suns currently sit third in West Group A at 1-1 with a net neutral point differential.
"A big win tonight, pending Utah's result, could see Phoenix leapfrog two teams in the Wild Card standings. Every point it beats the Blazers by adds extra equity to its chase for the NBA Cup, adding incentive for Durant to remain on the court and continue taking a blowtorch to opposing defenses, as he's been doing all month."
Draftkings: Deandre Ayton Over 12.5 Points
Chinmay Vaidya: "The Trail Blazers big man returns to Phoenix for the first time since the trade, so this is a nice little revenge spot for him. Ayton soured quickly on the Suns despite playing for the team in the Finals, and management ultimately needed to let him go.
"This is his chance to make a statement and while the change of scenery hasn’t worked out too well, Ayton is still averaging 12.2 points per game. This shouldn’t be a hard line for him to go over."
Oddshopper: Devin Booker Under 7.5 Assists
Isaiah Sirois: "The Phoenix Suns will play the Portland Trail Blazers tonight and the Golden State Warriors tomorrow. Wednesday’s action will even appear on ESPN. The Suns are a 13-point favorite tonight, so Devin Booker may not see many fourth-quarter minutes.
"We’ve seen Booker five times this year, and he is averaging an impressive 9.8 assists per game on 14.8 potential assists. However, his median total is just eight, and he failed to crack the eight-assist mark in his lone start in a double-digit win."
