PHOENIX — The Phoenix Suns play host to the Los Angeles Clippers for what is the only NBA game on the slate with a massive NBA Cup schedule tomorrow.
Between the return of Bradley Beal and expected debut of Jalen Green,there’s plenty of storylines to follow.
As such, all eyes and ears in the basketball world will be fixated on tonight’s fixture at Mortgage Matchup Center.
Three of the top prop bets available on the world wide web:
Covers.com: “Devin Booker was handed a historic extension this offseason, and he’s fully living up to the hype.
“With Kevin Durant gone, he’s the clear No. 1 option for the Phoenix Suns, and the numbers say it all.The former Kentucky star is averaging 31 points per game on 51.6% shooting from the field and 43.1% from 3-point land.
“Book just had a phenomenal night on Tuesday. Despite losing to the Warriors, the 29-year-old showed out for 38 points. He’s cashed the Over in points in all but two games this season, also scoring 28 on sunday against the Spurs, finishing just a tad below tonight’s total.
“While Booker did only have 18 points against the Los angeles Clippers last month, no Harden and Kawhi definitely opens up even more of an chance for Book to go off and have a massive night. He’ll show out.”
Clippers Look to Beal for Offensive Spark Against Suns
The Los Angeles Clippers face the Phoenix Suns tonight, with Bradley Beal poised for a potentially expanded role in the absence of Kawhi Leonard and James Harden. While Beal’s start to his Clippers career has been slow, averaging just 8.0 points in 20.3 minutes across four games, tonight’s matchup presents a unique opportunity for the veteran guard.
This game carries extra weight for Beal, as it marks his first against the Suns since they waived and stretched his contract this past offseason. Sports Illustrated notes this “revenge game” could be a catalyst for increased playing time and offensive obligation. With Leonard and Harden sidelined, Beal could operate as the Clippers’ primary scoring option alongside Chris Paul.
Beal showed signs of improvement in his last outing, scoring 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting against the Miami Heat.Analysts anticipate his shot volume will increase considerably tonight, given the Clippers’ limited offensive options. Last season, Beal demonstrated his scoring capabilities, averaging 17.0 points per game while shooting 49.7% from the field and 38.6% from three-point range – a performance level he’s capable of reaching again with sufficient minutes.
In addition to the Beal storyline, Clippers center Mason Williams is a player to watch on the boards. he has exceeded his rebound prop total in three of his last five games, including a 16-rebound performance against the Golden State Warriors. he also grabbed 16 and 11 rebounds in the other two games where he surpassed his prop. He’ll be challenged by Suns center Ivica zubac tonight.
tip-off is scheduled for just after 7:00 PM MST.
