Here are three of the'best prop bets'for this Warriors-Suns game, courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook's'NBA odds.
Warriors vs Suns Player Props
1. Devin Booker – Points: Over 26.5 (-125)
Devin Booker is playing like he is on a mission right now. The Suns star is shooting 53.1% from the floor and averaging 32.0 points across the first three games of the season. He has been especially stellar from deep, sinking 52.9% of his shots from beyond the arc (9-of-17). That bodes well for his chances of balling out against a Golden State defense that ra nks 15th in the NBA in terms of defensive efficiency. The Warriors also play at the fastest pace of any team in the league. More possessions mean more shot opportunities for Booker. Back the three-time All-Star to show up on the national stage.
2. Stephen Curry – Assists: Under 5.5 (-113)
It's been a scoring barrage for Steph Curry early on this season as he is averaging 33.3 points per game on a 47.0% shooting percentage. The increased focus on scoring has caused his assist numbers to dip, however, as he's only dished out 13 dimes over the first three games. He now has to face a Suns defense that is allowing the second-fewest assists to opposing point guards (5.7 per game), as well as the few est opponent assists overall (15.7). This game is going to be fast-paced, but that will likely result in Golden State players finding Curry open on the court rather than the other way around.
3. Draymond Green – Rebounds: Under 6.5 (-128)
Head coach Steve Kerr made it clear prior to opening night that he was going to ease his top players back into form. That's definitely been true for Draymond Green, who's averaging just 26.7 minutes per game so far. His rebounding numbers have taken a major hit, as he's averaging just 4.0 boards per game. That makes his line of 6.5 a bit surprising. While the Suns haven't been the best at boxing out opposing big men this season, they have held Green t o an average of 6.6 rebounds across 34 career matchups. Expect Phoenix to keep Green in check on Tuesday night.
