One of the late matchups on this packed Saturday slate is the Suns vs. Wizards game. Phoenix is beginning a three-game homestand tonight after walloping the Nets on the road. Meanwhile, the Wizards are on a 12-game losing streak that already includes a loss to Phoenix earlier this month.
Washington is on the fast track to the lottery once again, hoping to aid its rebuild through the talented 2025 NBA Draft. The odds on DraftKings Sportsbook reflect this as the Suns are 14-point favorites and -1000 on the moneyline. The game total is set at 234.5.
Phoenix won the first matchup 130-123 on Jan. 16. This will be the second of two games this season.
Despite the large spread, there are still plenty of great player props to bet in this game. Here are the best player prop bets for the Suns vs. Wizards matchup tonight.
Best Prop Bets for Suns vs. Wizards on DraftKings Sportsbook
Devin Booker 30+ points (+150)
Devin Booker is on a scoring tear lately, scoring at least 30 points in seven of his last nine games. One of those outings was against Washington, where he scored 37 points. The Suns have home-court advantage this time around, and Booker should continue his 30-point streak.
The Wizards allow the most points per game, have the worst defensive efficiency and play at the fourth fastest pace in the NBA. It’s a recipe for a high-scoring game with little defense.
The one problem is that it could be a blowout considering the Wizards have only won six games, but the Suns have kept games close lately with two exceptions. Seven of their last nine games have finished as single-digit wins and losses.
A relatively close game will allow Booker to play more and give him a shot at another 30-point game. His standard line of 26.5 points at -115 is a great play as well. For more juice, 35+ points at +380 is a solid play. Booker’s lines include 40+ (+950) and 45+ (+2500). He has a season high of 44 and scored 40+ twice this season.
Kevin Durant over 2.5 steals + blocks (+150)
Kevin Durant’s defense often gets overlooked because his offense is so potent. The 36-year-old is a better defender than many may realize. While steals and blocks aren’t a telltale sign of a defender’s ability, it’s still a metric that helps fans understand their impact.
Durant averages 1.4 blocks and 0.8 steals per game this season and has career averages of 1.1 for each. Tonight’s steals + blocks line is slightly over his averages, but it’s a representation of his latest outings. He’s hit this mark in three of his last five games.
One of those games was against Washington on Jan. 16. Durant had two blocks and one steal in that matchup. Tonight’s line comes in at plus value, which makes it even more intriguing despite the added risk.
Kyle Kuzma over 5.5 rebounds (-130)
Kyle Kuzma has had a disappointing season, averaging just 14 points and 5.5 rebounds per game. It’s a notable dip from last year’s stats.
His rebounds average matches tonight’s prop bet line, and Kuzma has hit the over in four straight games. The Suns ranked 24th in opponents rebounding per game, which makes tonight a good opportunity to continue that streak.
Look for Kuzma to hit the over yet again, giving some light to a dark season in Washington.
