Not paying any juice here feels great. Booker is a phenomenal scorer and should be in line to do big things tonight. He’s coming fresh from a 46-point game where he dominated OKC. Let's get into why I love this one so much.
D-Book is a one-of-a-kind talent. The guy can score from anywhere on the floor and loves big moments. This game will be on ESPN, will be in LA, and will have a heavy impact on playoffs, as there are only 11 games left in the Suns' season. This game absolutely screams that it’s Booker time.
Los Angeles is a great target. The Lakers just allowed 38 points to Kyrie Irving this past week, and Booker is a very comparable volume shooter who’s also a guard. This game has just a one-point spread and a 230 total which implies that it has overtime potential and late-game free throw hopes. Booker would certainly be the candidate for late-game cheeky free throws. Those could be the difference between winning and losing.
Booker has hit this prop in six of his last nine games and looks to do it again. The Lakers play at the second-highest pace in the NBA, so Booker should see more possessions than he’s used to. Phoenix needs this win to stay the No. 4 seed and have home court in a playoff series. I expect this game to remain close and be a fun way to end the night. Let's roll!
