3 Best NBA Prop Bets Today for Lakers vs. Suns (Lakers in Full Panic Mode)

The Los Angeles Lakers continue to lose and their playoff hopes are disappearing fast. The Suns are on a two-game losing streak but their postseason berth is secure. Let’s take a look at some prop odds for this showdown, courtesy of WynnBET Sportsbook.

3 Best Prop Bets for  Lakers vs. Suns

• Devin Booker OVER 2.5 Threes Made (+115)
• Chris Paul OVER 1.5 Steals (+100)
• Chris Paul to Shoot a Double Double (-164)

Devin Booker OVER 2.5 Threes Made (+115)

Booker got the night off on Sunday when the Suns suffered a shocking loss to the 23-55 Oklahoma City Thunder. He earned that night off after dropping 41 points on the Grizzlies on Friday night. He went 3-for-6 from behind the arc in that game. It was the second time in three games that he went over tonight's total. Let’s not forget how bad the Laker's defense is too. In his last two games combined, Booker has dropped ten threes on the Los Angeles Lakers. 

Chris Paul OVER 1.5 Steals (+100)

Chris Paul picked up right where he left off before his injury. He looks phenomenal, even at age of 36 and playing at less than 100%. One area of his game that continues to impress is his defensive steal rate. He has at least one steal in each game since his return and three in each of his last two. The Lakers, if you hadn’t heard, are playing some of the worst basketball in the league right now. They also rank 27th in opponent steals per game and their offense is 25th in turnovers per game. Paul should snag a few tonight from a Lakers team that is fast and loose with the ball. 

Chris Paul to Shoot a Double Double (-164)

As I mentioned above, Paul hasn’t lost a step coming back from injury. He continues to be a machine in the passing game and totaled 27 assists in his first two games back. In his five total games since returning, he is averaging over 10.5 assists per game and still leads the NBA in that category. As far as points, Paul has only one game since coming back where he failed to reach double-digits. He is averaging 14.2 points during that span and should have little trouble scoring on this bad Lakers defense.
