Best NBA prop bets today for Suns vs. Clippers Game 4 (Devin Booker is must bet)
By Peter Dewey
The Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Clippers are in a bit of a quick turnaround Saturday for Game 4 of their first-round series.
Phoenix has a chance to pick up a second road win and take control of the series after winning Games 2 and 3 this week.
There aren’t many Clippers lines available with Kawhi Leonard’s status (knee sprain) up in the air, but that doesn’t mean we can’t find value in the prop market.
Suns vs. Clippers best NBA prop bets
- Deandre Ayton to Record a Double-Double
- Devin Booker OVER 30.5 Points
Deandre Ayton to Record a Double-Double
Deandre Ayton has now picked up two straight double-doubles for the Phoenix Suns, grabbing 13 and 11 boards in Games 2 and 3.
Ayton played a series-high 35 minutes in Game 3, and he stepped up on the glass for the Suns after they were dominated on the offensive glass in Game 1.
While Ayton’s shot usage has dipped (just nine field goal attempts in Game 3), he’s still scored in double figures in each game this series.
At -115, this is a bit of a value on the Suns big man considering how many minutes he’s playing.
Devin Booker OVER 30.5 Points
Devin Booker has gone off in this series, scoring 26, 38 and 45 points in the first three games.
Los Angeles has no answer for him in the midrange, and the presence of Kevin Durant has allowed Booker to see one-on-one matchups more often than he ever has in a postseason in his career.
The former lottery pick took 29 shots in Game 3, and he’s averaging over 23 shots per game in this series. That’s a great base for him to go over this number, and he could benefit in a big way if Leonard sits.
The Clippers played uptempo in Game 3 to make up for their lack of scoring in the half court, and it nearly worked, as they kept things close all game, covering the spread in the process.
However, that means more possessions for both teams on offense, and Booker certainly took advantage of that in Game 3. I expect more of the same on Saturday.
