Don’t forget to check our predictions on the side and total for the rest of Friday’s 10-game slate, including the Milwaukee Bucks vs Chicago Bulls game which is also live on ESPN at 7:30 pm ET.
Let’s jump into it!
Julius Randle to score 30+ points (+630)
RJ Barrett to record 4+ assists (+138)
Parlay odds: +1460
Julius Randle to score 30+ points (+630)
Randle has been on a tear offensively lately, he is averaging 25.8 points per game over his last 10 and has resembled the player he was just a year ago when he led the Knicks to the 4th seed in the East. That’s unfortunately a far-fetched dream this season for Knicks fans, but at least Randle is picking it up towards the end of the season. He’s coming off a 24-point effort against the 76ers and during the month of February he scored 30 or more points in 4 games, plus he also had 28 points on 3 occasions. At these odds, I think it’s worth backing him to drop 30 tonight against the Suns, especially since he’s already had a 26 and 24 point effort in 2 of his last 4 games against them.

RJ Barrett to record 4+ assists (+138)
With CP3 and Devin Booker out, Barrett has 2 less elite defenders to worry about here. He has been sharing the ball a lot more lately and that’s been overlooked due to his stellar scoring nights in February. He finished that month with an average of 28.3 points per game, as far as assists go he’s averaged 4.7 of them per game over his last 6 games and he’s recorded 4 or more dimes in 4 of those games. In the 4 games since Chris Paul went down, a total of 8 opposing players have dished out at least 4 assists against the Suns. Hopefully Barrett can add to that tonight.
