The Phoenix Suns will have Kevin Durant back in the lineup Tuesday night when they host the Memphis Grizzlies after the star forward missed three games with a sprained left ankle. Phoenix struggled in his absence, going just 1-2, and is 2-11 overall when Durant is sidelined this season.
Despite swirling trade rumors leading up to the deadline, the Suns kept their Big Three of Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal intact. With Durant returning, Phoenix looks to build momentum as it pushes toward the All-Star break.
Here’s the featured Durant prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook for Tuesday’s matchup against the Grizzlies.
Best Kevin Durant Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Over 2.5 Threes (-105)
Durant has been a consistent threat from deep this season, averaging 26.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 4.2 assists while knocking down 2.4 three-pointers per game.
Before his last two performances—where he shot a combined 3-of-13 from beyond the arc—Durant had hit four or more threes in five consecutive games. Given his volume and efficiency from deep, this recent cold stretch presents a buy-low opportunity.
With Bradley Beal (toe) still sidelined, expect Durant and Booker to carry the offensive load. Memphis must focus on containing Booker after his recent 47-point explosion against Utah, which could leave more perimeter looks for Durant.
Additionally, Durant is just 26 points away from reaching 30,000 career points and will likely come out aggressive. Given his role in Phoenix’s offense and his ability to get hot from deep, this matchup sets up well for him to hit at least three triples.
