Experts Pick Prop Bets for Suns-Rockets
The Phoenix Suns will be without Devin Booker for a second straight game when they take on the Houston Rockets.
That indeed has impacted some of the things Phoenix has been able to do while the betting market indeed has shifted.
The Suns are -6 point favorites depending on which market you're in, but if you're looking to make some cold hard cash, consider the following props before action gets underway in Houston:
MGM Shows Suns Prop Trends

-Mikal Bridges has hit the Made 3 Point Shots Over in 13 of his last 23 games (+6.75 Units / 28% ROI)
Betsperts Likes Phoenix With the Spread
"Against the spread, the Suns are 14-13-0 this year. Phoenix has come away with 13 wins in the 21 contests it has been listed as the favorite in this season. The Suns have gone over the point total in 50% of their opportunities this year (13 times in 26 games with a set point total).
"The Rockets have played 26 games, with 12 wins against the spread. Houston has won 32% of the games this season it was the moneyline underdog (8-17). Rockets games this year have hit the over on 13 of 26 set point totals (50%).
"Our prediction to win this game is the Suns, and we predict that Suns will cover the spread (Suns -6). Finally, we see the scoring in this one going over the posted total of 224 points."
Covers.com Finds Value in Mikal Bridges
"Yet, we are still getting nice plus money on the Over 2.5 for Bridges 3-pointers made prop going against a Houston team that has a real problem when it comes to defending the 3-ball.
"In fact, the Rockets are one of the worst in the NBA at protecting the arc. Houston surrenders the second most 3-point attempts per game while ranking 25th in opponent 3-point shooting percentage.
"This is sneaky good plus-money value with Bridges, with the combination of no Booker and this matchup against the Rockets.
"Mikal Bridges Prop: Over 2.5 made 3-pointers (+136)"
Pickswise Believes in Deandre Ayton
"With Devin Booker missing the last game, the Suns needed a new offensive focal point. Deandre Ayton stepped up. He dropped 28 points against the New Orleans Pelicans and should resume this role tonight against the Houston Rockets. While he did not have a great scoring night the last time the teams met, he did not have Chris Paul feeding him the ball.
"With the point guard back in the lineup, Ayton becomes a much bigger pick-and-roll threat. Opposing center Alperen Sengun is not the most athletic player and could be exploited in such situations. With him giving up a size and weight advantage to Ayton too, the center should have success scoring on post-ups. As a result, consider backing Ayton’s over."
