We’ve only got one NBA game on the docket tonight, as the short-handed Los Angeles Clippers head to the desert for a date with the Phoenix Suns. Despite getting hammered 129-102 by the Clippers back on Oct. 24, the Suns are a 2.5-point favorite with the total currently at 223.5 points.
Tonight’s game will be shown on Peacock, but it will not feature two of the Clippers’ best players – Kawhi Leonard (ankle) or James Harden (personal). This means other players will have to step up to the call, and this veteran bunch does have the horses to keep this competitive.
This article digs into the best bets for tonight’s clash, highlighting standout players and key matchups to watch. Whether you’re an NBA fanatic or just looking for side action on the TV alongside Thursday Night Football, we’ll have something to pique your interest.
Let’s take a look at the best bets for Devin Booker, Kris Dunn
What are the Best Player Prop Bets for Los Angeles Clippers at Phoenix Suns?
Devin Booker: Over 28.5 Points (-115)
Booker leads the NBA with 31 PPG and will take aim at a Clippers defense allowing the fourth-most PPG (24.5) to opposing shooting guards. Even better for Booker, this game will be played in Phoenix, where the Suns are 3-1 this season (0-4 on the road).
We’re only eight games into the NBA season, and Booker has scored 30+ in six of those games; he also went for 28 in one of those contests. Booker is even coming off a season-high 38 in Tuesday’s loss against the Warriors. It’s the only game on the schedule tonight, so you know the league’s leading scorer has to show out for the masses – or whoever’s not watching Thursday Night Football.
Kris Dunn: Over 15.5 Points + Assists + Assists (-110)
The Clippers will be without Kawhi Leonard and James Harden tonight, so when they say all hands on deck, they may need to legitimately pull some guys out of the stands in Phoenix. Thankfully, Dunn will already be in uniform, and he has played all seven games for the Clippers thus far.
Dunn just played a season-high 30 minutes on Tuesday, accumulating six points, five rebounds, and three assists; he even added a block and two steals. Over the last three games, Dunn has come away with eight steals, so those changes of possession could certainly come in handy going the other way.
Ivica Zubac: Over 11.5 Rebounds (+105)
Speaking of needing more out of everyone tonight, the Clippers will certainly lean on Zubac in key situations. With much less talented players on the court, LA could very well be in “chuck it” mode, and possibly have more rebounding opportunities for our guy here.
Zubac has been an absolute beast on the glass, averaging 9.7 per game early in the season. On Monday, he even had an 18-rebound performance, and in the two games prior, he hauled down 11 and 12 rebounds. As noted, Zubac and many other Clippers’ players will need to bring a Herculean effort into Phoenix, so look for him to come through.
