The Nuggets and the Suns are two of the favorites to come out of the Western Conference, but as the regular season starts to wrap up, the Suns, not the top seeded Nuggets, look like the best in the West.
Phoenix has won six straight and most of those have been with Kevin Durant out on the floor. They have all the star power, so let’s look at the prop bet market and place a few props for this potential playoff preview.
Nuggets vs. Suns best NBA prop bets
Devin Booker OVER 26.5 points (-118)
Deandre Ayton OVER 24.5 points + rebounds (-106)
Josh Okogie UNDER 8.5 points (-104)
Devin Booker OVER 26.5 points (-118)
KD is the biggest star for the Suns, but Devin Booker has been its biggest scoring threat.
In March Booker averaged over 32 points a game and in their two games in April he had 22 and 27. He has tailed off a little bit this month, but against Denver he should dominate.
Deandre Ayton OVER 24.5 points + rebounds (-106)
Nikola Jokic is questionable with a calf injury, so maybe he won’t end up playing in this one, but if he does, Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton will torture him with pick and roll. The scorer and spacing all over the floor for Phoenix will leave Jokic exposed under the basket and Ayton will catch lobs all game.
Josh Okogie UNDER 8.5 points (-104)
This Phoenix team hasn’t played with their full complement of weaponry much, but they already know their roles on the team. In the Suns last two games, Josh Okogie, who is in the starting lineup has four points and one point. They have enough players to do the scoring, Okogie is content defending and moving the ball.
