Check out Brad’s BEST PICKS, including his $19 PICK OF THE DAY!
Devin Booker Under 26.5 Points
Devin Booker is averaging 25.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 7.1 assists per game. His field goal percentage stands at 45.7%, reflecting his efficiency on the court. His scoring average places him among the top ten in the league, while his assist numbers rank ninth, highlighting his dual-threat capability as both a scorer and facilitator. He’s coming off a game where he hit a buzzer-beater against the Bucks, but when you look at his numbers as of late, the under has been money. If you’ve taken the under on Booker's points in his last 9 games, you would’ve hit in 8 of those games. As of late, Kevin Durant has been the main scorer on the Suns, and Booker has been more of a facilitator.
Kristaps Porzingis Over 18.5 Points
Porzingis is averaging 19.4 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game, with a field goal percentage of 48.4%. His consistent scoring and rebounding have been instrumental in the Celtics' success, contributing to their strong position in the Eastern Conference. Porzingis is coming off a slow game where he just scored 16 points against the Kings, but in his 3 games before that, he scored 24+ in all of them. I like him to bounce back in this spot going against the Suns team, who is soft in the paint after trading away Nurkic.
Kevin Durant Over 26.5 Points
Kevin Durant, the forward for the Phoenix Suns, is delivering exceptional performances in the 2024-25 NBA season. Over 58 games, he averages 26.6 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game, with a field goal percentage of 52.8%. Durant's scoring average places him among the league's top scorers, and his efficiency is reflected in his field goal percentage. Durrant is coming off a game where he scored 38 points against the Bucks, and the game before that, he scored 42 against the Cavs. If the Suns are going to keep up in this game, Durant will have to have another monstrous performance.
