| NBA | (575) Golden State Warriors at (576) Phoenix Suns: Devin Booker Points + Rebounds + Assists | 10:00pm EDT - Apr 17/2026 |
The PLAY: Devin Booker Points + Rebounds + Assists Over 36.5 (-128)
In three head-to-head matchups against the Warriors this season Booker averaged 39.4 points + rebounds + assists per game with Golden State giving up the seventh most points to point guards per game this season. We’re well aware Booker had just 27 points + rebounds + assists in the team’s 114-110 loss to Portland on Tuesday, but Booker got in foul trouble early which messed up any rhythm Booker may have had during that game playing at least 36 minutes per game over his last five. We could see him notch 40 minutes tonight and on the season Booker has averaged 42.9 points + rebounds + assists per 40 minutes played. On the season Golden State ranked 22nd in rebounding rate and sat bottom half of the league in total assists allowed per game to the opposition. These two teams haven’t met since December 20 with Booker attempting 27 shots that game and attempting over 20 per game across his last five. With the winner of this game taking on the Thunder in the first round, let’s go with Booker to fill up the stat sheet going over 36.5 points + rebounds + assists on Friday night in front of the home crowd.
