The PLAY: Devin Booker (PHX) Over 24.5 Points vs Chicago
It wasn’t too long ago that Devin Booker was scoring at will averaging 25.3 points per game in January before suffering a hip injury that has limited him to four total games in February and March. We think tonight sets up as the perfect get-right game for Booker as the Suns host the Bulls in Phoenix as we’ll take him over 24.5 points. Sure, Booker hasn’t gone over this number since January 20th, but Chicago has allowed the third most points per game to shooting guards over the last 30 days and the most three-pointers made over that time as well. Phoenix and Chicago have yet to meet this season, but in last year’s two head-to-head games Booker averaged 35 points per game. The Bulls come in sitting 23rd in defensive efficiency this season and run at the fourth fastest pace which will translate to more scoring opportunities for Phoenix and Booker specifically who run at the sixth slowest pace in the league. The Bulls are dealing with tons of injuries right now including Patrick Williams and Jalen Smith who are doubtful for tonight as well as Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis who are questionable. The only thing we have to worry about is the blowout factor, but we think Booker scoring over 24.5 points will be a reason they get there as Phoenix will be without Dillon Brooks tonight. Take the all-star Booker to get over 24.5 points tonight at home against a mediocre Bulls team.
