We've got a potential Western Conference Finals preview on our hands tonight as the 62-14 Phoenix Suns take on the 54-23 Memphis Grizzlies at 8:00 PM EST.

WynnBET Sportsbook has the Suns favored by seven, but the prop market is where the real value lies in this heavyweight bout.

There are three prop bets that have my attention tonight. Thanks to the odds from WynnBET, let's take a look at what players are poised for a big game:

3 Best Props for Suns vs Grizzlies

Devin Booker Over 27.5 Points (-105)

Booker had a poor game against the Warriors in his last outing, shooting just 5/21 from the field. But he still put up 22 points and had cleared this prop in six straight contests before putting up a dud. He averaged 30.1 points per game in March as he forced his way into the MVP conversation.

The Grizzlies are one of the best defensive teams in the league, but they're susceptible to giving up big games to guards. In the last handful of games, they surrendered 33 points to Dejounte Murray, 25 to Jordan Poole, 25 to Lance Stephenson, and 43 to Kyrie Irving. I love Booker's chances at a bounce-back game in this one.

Mikal Bridges 2+ Three-Pointers (+135)

Bridges only has one made three-pointer in each of his last two games, but prior to that had hit multiple three's in six straight and 10 of 12 overall.

I expect ample opportunities for Bridges as Chris Paul penetrates the Grizzlies' defense and looks for kick-out passes to open shooters. Getting plus money for something that Bridges almost always does is a lovely wager, if you ask me.

Deandre Ayton Under 11.5 Rebounds (-140)

This matchup is a great test for Ayton, who averaged 10.5 rebounds per game in March. He has 28 rebounds in his last two games but this is a great spot to fade him.

The Grizzlies are the best rebounding team in the NBA, bringing in over 53% of available boards. Clearing 11.5 is a big ask against Memphis and I'll trust the Grizzlies slew of big men to slow Ayton down.
