Suns vs Hawks Player Prop Bets – Devin Booker Over 36.5 Points and Assists (-110)
Devin Booker is one of the hottest NBA players at the moment. He torched defenses recently and scored 44+ points in four of the previous eight games! During that stretch, Booker combined for 37+ PTS and AST, while in the last two outings, he combined for 15 dimes.
For the season, Booker averages 28.3 ppg, just a bit shy of Kevin Durant, but two of them have been go-to guys for the Suns offensively. Since he moved to a PG position, Booker has been dishing a lot of assists, so it’s not strange he averages 7.3 apg this season. He does have sharpshooting teammates to pass the ball to, such as KD and Bradley Beal, among others.
The Hawks allow 23.9 ppg and 9.6 apg to the opposing point guards. Considering Atlanta allows 123.3 ppg, which is the second-worst defense in the NBA, I am backing Booker to have a great offensive display here.
Jusuf Nurkic Over 9.5 Rebounds (-110)
Even though he averages 27.4 minutes per game this season, Jusuf Nurkic is the team’s top rebounder and averages a double-double per game with 11.8 ppg and 10.3 rpg. Nurk was a beast offensively in the previous game against Brooklyn; he posted another DD of 28 points and 11 boards.
In six of the last ten games, Nurkic recorded 11+ rebounds, and this matchup against Atlanta is not bad for the Bosnian center. The Hawks allow 23.7 ppg and 15.4 rpg to the opposing centers, so I am backing Jusuf to grab at least ten boards tonight. Bol Bol could get some minutes after returning from an injury, but I don’t think he’ll affect Nurkic’s productiveness below the rims.
Before that 28-point performance against the Nets, Nurkic failed to score more than eight points in six consecutive games. That’s why I am opting for rebounds rather than points or a double-double. Hopefully, both the Suns vs Hawks Player Prop Bets will hit.
