The Phoenix Suns host the Los Angeles Clippers tonight in the only NBA game scheduled, ahead of a busy NBA Cup day tomorrow. With Bradley Beal returning and Jalen Green's expected debut, there are many storylines to watch at the Mortgage Matchup Center.
"Devin Booker was handed a historic extension this offseason, and he’s fully living up to the hype. With Kevin Durant gone, he’s the clear No. 1 option for the Phoenix Suns, and the numbers say it all. The former Kentucky star is averaging 31 points per game on 51.6% shooting from the field and 43.1% from 3-point land."
Booker recently had a stellar night despite a loss to the Warriors, scoring 38 points. He has exceeded the points Over in all but two games this season, including 28 points against the Spurs last Sunday. Although he scored only 18 points against the Clippers last month, the absence of Harden and Kawhi should allow Booker to have an outstanding performance tonight.
"Mark Williams is a dominant figure at 7-foot-1, and he’s exactly what the Suns needed at the five."
The Duke product is averaging 10 points per game, providing much-needed presence for Phoenix.
The basketball world will focus closely on this game as it sets the tone before a packed schedule tomorrow.
Author's summary: Tonight’s Suns vs Clippers game offers compelling prop bets, notably on Devin Booker’s scoring potential and Mark Williams’ impact, amid key player returns and debuts.
