Suns vs. Trail Blazers prop bet picks
Devin Booker 30+ points (-121)
Now that Kevin Durant is gone, Devin Booker has full control of Phoenix’s offense. Through 14 games, the guard has produced 28.4 points, 4.1 rebounds and 7.0 assists while shooting 50% from the field. The All-Star has put up those numbers despite a middling 34% mark from three-point range. Only one other Suns player, Dillon Brooks, is currently averaging more than 22.0 points per game. Booker’s 31.6% usage rate ranks 11th in basketball this season.
It helps that Phoenix’s face of the franchise has dominated in this spot before. Booker has tallied at least 28 points in each of his previous five meetings with Portland. To make things more enticing, Jrue Holiday (calf) is currently listed as doubtful for tonight’s contest. Without arguably their best defender, the Blazers are far more vulnerable on the perimeter. A superstar such as Booker should take advantage of this weakness with another standout performance.
Toumani Camara 19+ points + rebounds (-118)
Holiday’s injury could have a major impact on both sides. For Portland, that’s primarily on defense. However, his absence also opens up more room for players to produce on the other end of the floor. It’s worth mentioning that the Trail Blazers play at the NBA’s third-fastest pace on offense (102.7). Deni Avdija and Shaedon Sharpe will handle most of the team’s scoring, along with veteran Jerami Grant. After that, it’s anyone’s guess.
Much like Holiday, Toumani Camara isn’t known for his offense. However, the All-Defensive Team selection is an all-around player. This season, he’s averaging 12.3 points and 5.2 rebounds per game. That’s despite shooting a lackluster 41% from the field. The wing has recorded at least 19 points + rebounds in five of his previous seven outings. In addition, Camara managed to reach this total during each of his last three games vs. Phoenix. Portland’s slept-on forward should stay busy on Tuesday.
