By Matt De Saro

Let’s take a look at some prop odds for this showdown, courtesy of WynnBET Sportsbook.
3 Best Prop Bets for Suns vs. Timberwolves
- Devin Booker OVER 28.5 Points (-110)
- Devin Booker OVER 2.5 Turnovers (-125)
- Deandre Ayton OVER 9.5 Rebounds (-140)
Devin Booker OVER 28.5 Points (-110)
Devin Booker has been at the center of the Suns' offense since Chris Paul went down around the All-Star Game. In Booker's first few months of the season, he averaged between 22.6 and 24.7 points per game for the Suns.
But once the calendar turned to 2022, he immediately upped his average to 27.4 points per game. Now that Pauls is on the shelf, that number has grown to over 28.1 points per game. Booker has gone OVER this total in three of his last five games and the Timberwolves don’t exactly have the best defense.
In fact, Booker has 29 points in each of his last two games against Minnesota.
Devin Booker OVER 2.5 Turnovers (-125)
While Booker has done a lot to help this team, with added touches usually comes extra turnovers. While Booker has been exploding on offense, his turnover rate has also grown.
He has gone over this total in three straight games and four of his last six. It is just a byproduct of the extra attention on offense but Booker is racking up turnovers at a high rate since Paul’s injury.
Deandre Ayton OVER 9.5 Rebounds (-140)
Ayton currently is the 14th best rebounder in the NBA with an average of 10 boards per game. And while his scoring has been a bit up and down this month, his rebounding totals remain strong and worth a look in this matchup.
Ayton has gone over this total in three straight and six of his last eight games. In his lone game against the Timberwolves this year, Ayton had 12 boards in 33 minutes.
