The Phoenix Suns are aiming to win their 9th game in a row as they hit the road and visit Chase Center to face the Golden State Warriors. You can watch the game live on ESPN from 10:00 pm ET, and I’ve also prepared a same game parlay which is available below.
After you’re done checking it out, be sure to also go through our predictions on the side and total for the rest of Wednesday’s 11-game slate.
Let’s dive in!
Deandre Ayton to record 10+ rebounds (-154)
Mikal Bridges 2+ made threes (+100)
Devin Booker to score 35+ points (+260)
Parlay odds: +1101
Deandre Ayton to record 10+ rebounds (-154)
Deandre Ayton is facing a team that’s allowing 52.7 rebounds per game over their last 3 outings. He has been cleaning the glass consistently for the Suns, and over his last 10 games he’s averaging 10.4 boards per game, while against the Suns in 3 meetings this season he’s averaged 8 per game. He’s had double-digit rebounds in 5 of his last 6 outings and he had 12 of them against the 76ers in his last game, which is remarkable considering he had to battle Joel Embiid down low for a solid 31 minutes of play. The Warriors don’t have such a dominant inside presence, so Ayton shouldn’t have many problems getting 10 boards.

Mikal Bridges 2+ made threes (+100)
Mikal Bridges has been very consistent with his 3-point shot over his last 10 games. He’s averaged 19 points per game during that stretch and made 43.5% of his attempts from beyond the arc. He’s been shooting it even better against the Warriors this season – in 3 meetings he’s knocked down 66.7% of his attempts. In March he’s making 2.1 of them per game and he’s recorded at least 2 in 7 of his last 8 games. Look for him to take advantage of Golden State’s lack of defending recently. Over their last 3 games they’ve allowed opponents to make 44.2% of their attempts from three, and that should be music to his ears ahead of tonight’s game.

Devin Booker to score 35+ points (+260)
Scoring against the Warriors has been hard for Devin Booker this season – in 2 meetings against them he’s averaging just 11.5 points per game. That should all change tonight, though. You can bet that Booker is aware of those numbers and he will want to make amends for his subpar performances earlier this season. He’s been carrying the Suns offense since Chris Paul went down and that hasn’t changed in the last 2 games since Paul’s return. Booker dropped a cool 49 on Denver a couple of games ago and followed it up with a 35-point performance against Philadelphia the other day. The Warriors defense has been all over the place lately, allowing 122.3 points per game over their last 3 games. Only 3 teams in the NBA are worse than them during that stretch. Booker is motivated to have another big game.
