Phoenix Suns vs LA Lakers Player Prop Picks 11-26-24

The Los Angeles Lakers will face the Phoenix Suns on November 25, 2024, in what promises to be an exciting matchup between two heavyweights of the Western Conference.

Both teams have star-studded lineups: the Lakers boast LeBron James and Anthony Davis, while the Suns feature Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, and possibly Bradley Beal, depending on his availability. The Lakers, coming off a strong start to the season, are looking to extend their dominance, with solid contributions from their supporting cast such as Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura.

For Phoenix, the key to success will be containing the Lakers’ offensive attack, especially focusing on Davis, who has been a force on both ends of the floor. If Beal is available, he will likely be matched up against the Lakers’ perimeter players, adding another dynamic to Phoenix’s offense alongside Booker and Durant.

Devin Booker Over 5.5 Assists

Devin Booker has been averaging 6.4 assists per game so far this season, contributing significantly to the Phoenix Suns’ offense. In addition to his scoring ability, where he’s putting up 24.1 points per game, Booker is also facilitating plays for his teammates, making him an essential part of the Suns’ dynamic offense. His assist numbers reflect his playmaking role, and his versatility is evident as he is equally adept at both scoring and distributing the ball​

I expect Devin Booker’s assist number to increase now that Kevin Durant is back in the lineup. Not only does he have one of the best scorers in the league to pass to but he now has some of the pressure to score off his back. When Durrant was in the lineup we saw Booker have multiple double-digit assist nights.

Anthony Davis Over 29.5 Points

Anthony Davis has been dominant in scoring during this season, averaging 30.1 points per game. He has shot an impressive 55.6% from the field and 40.6% from three-point range. Additionally, he has maintained a solid free-throw percentage of 78.1%. His ability to score efficiently has been central to the Los Angeles Lakers offense, with standout performances like his 39-point game against Orlando.

Anthony Davis is coming off a night where he only scored 14 points against the Nuggets. When looking at his number we typically see a bounce-back game after a slow night. This should be a close and competitive game where the Lakers will need to have Anthony Davis in and play plenty of minutes. This is a great spot to invest in Anthony Davis to have a huge night. 

Austin Reaves Over 2.5 Three Pointers

Austin Reaves has been an important part of the Los Angeles Lakers’ offense during the 2024-25 season, particularly with his three-point shooting. Across 16 games, he has averaged 2.8 three-pointers per game, shooting at a solid 36.7% from beyond the arc​. Reaves has demonstrated consistency in his shooting range, playing a crucial role in spacing the floor for the Lakers.

Austin Reaves has had at least 3 three-pointers in 7 of his last 10 games. Lebron James garners so much attention and has the passing abilities to find Reaves open beyond the arc at an incredible rate. Reaves has a favorable matchup against the Suns. The Suns allow 13.6 three-pointers per game to opposing teams which is well above the league average.
