We saw the lowest-scoring game of the season in Game 4 between the Los Angeles Clippers and Phoenix Suns, but it didn’t matter to the Suns as they got the job done and are now looking to close it out at home. We’ve come up with a same game parlay for this huge Game 5, where it’s win or go home for the Clippers. The action gets underway tonight at 9pm ET on ESPN, and be sure to check out our picks on the side and total for that matchup and every game throughout the NBA Playoffs.
Devin Booker Over 27.5 Points (-102)
Deandre Ayton Over 11.5 Rebounds (-106)
Chris Paul Over 9.5 Assists (-105)
Paul George Over 2.5 Made Threes (-158)
Parlay odds: +1042
Devin Booker Over 27.5 Points (-102)
After finishing under his total for the past three games of this series, Devin Booker finally got rid of the protective mask he has been wearing because of a broken nose. Now that that’s out of the way, I expect him to get back to his usual total of 30-ish points as the Suns try to finish the job at home. He feels comfortable at home as we saw in the first two games of the series when he dropped 34 and 40 points. Despite the broken nose, he wasn’t hesitant in going to the basket and drawing fouls. It took until Game 4 for him to miss his first free throws of the series.

Deandre Ayton Over 11.5 Rebounds (-106)
It is a bit of a cliche to say, but Deandre Ayton has been a monster on the boards in this series. He’s currently averaging 13.5 per game and in Game 4 he finished with 22 of them. And it’s not only defensive boards he’s getting. He had nine on the offensive end on Saturday, getting extra possessions for his team when they needed it the most. The Clippers countered with Ivica Zubac who played a career-high 40 minutes, but it didn’t matter to Ayton as he dominated on the inside. Suns will follow the same recipe and close it out at home.
Chris Paul Over 9.5 Assists (-105)
Paul’s shooting has been off target in the two games he has played so far since coming back after an 11-day lay-off. The good thing about his game is that he is able to dominate in so many ways that it doesn’t matter how many points he scores. He had 12 assists in Game 3 and seven in Game 4 on Saturday. When players like Booker focus only on scoring (he had zero assists in Game 4) it’s up to Paul to make things click for the Suns and that’s exactly what he’s going to do Monday night. He’s the most experienced player on the court for both sides in this series and under his leadership, the young Suns have a chance to make the finals for the first time in almost 30 years, count on Paul to show up.

Paul George Over 2.5 Made Threes (-158)
There’s nothing harder than putting a team away in the Playoffs and you can count on the Clippers to give it their all to avoid elimination. George hasn’t had the best of shooting nights in both games in LA, but when it comes to playing in Phoenix he was amazing in the first two games. In Game 1, he drained seven three-pointers on 15 attempts, and for the series he is averaging three made shots and 10.8 attempts. He went Over 2.5 Made Threes twice in four games, you can count on him emptying his clip in Game 5 as well.
