After you’re done checking it out, be sure to also go through our predictions on the side and total for the rest of Friday’s 12-game slate.
Let’s dive in!
Mikal Bridges 3+ made threes (+420)
Devin Booker to score 30+ points (+136)
Parlay odds: +1077
Mikal Bridges 3+ made threes (+420)
Bridges has been one of the key rotation players for the Suns over the past 10 games, averaging 19.1 points per game on over 54% shooting from the field and 46.7% from three-point land. In 2 games against Memphis this season he is averaging 11.5 points per game, but more importantly, he is yet to miss a three-point attempt against them, draining all 3 of his shots. During the month of March he is averaging exactly 2 threes per game on 4.5 attempts, and just a couple of games ago he made 3 against the Denver Nuggets on the road. With so many players out for Memphis, the Grizzlies could find it difficult to keep Bridges in check here. In their previous game, they allowed San Antonio to shoot 40% from three-point land — there’s no doubt in my mind Bridges can take advantage of that here.

Devin Booker to score 30+ points (+136)
I am genuinely surprised we’re getting these odds for something that’s happened in 50% of Booker’s last 10 games. He’s been on fire during that stretch, averaging 30.8 points per game while shooting 52.2% from the field and almost 40% from three-point land. Just like Bridges, he too should benefit from the Grizzlies’ injuries here. The last time he faced Memphis, he finished with 30 points on 50% shooting from the field and three-point land.
With the regular season coming to a close, he is doing everything he can to make a late push for the MVP award. In 2 of his last 3 games, Booker went for 35 and 49 points against respectable defenses in Philadelphia and Denver. With the projected total being set for 228.5 points here, oddsmakers are expecting a high-scoring game. If that’s the case, Booker should once again carry most of the offensive load for Phoenix.
