Wednesday night’s NBA slate wraps up with a Western Conference showdown as the Phoenix Suns host the Memphis Grizzlies at Mortgage Matchup Center.
The Grizzlies (2-2) shoot for their first road win of the season, while the Suns (1-3) aim to snap a three-game skid after snagging a win in their season opener. As usual, Phoenix will lean heavily on star guard Devin Booker to lead the way.
Tipoff is set for 10:00 p.m. ET. Memphis enters as a -130 moneyline favorite, while Phoenix sits as a +110 underdog. The total is set at 241.5 points.
Ahead of the Wednesday night contest, here’s my favorite Devin Booker prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Best Devin Booker prop bet for Grizzlies vs. Suns
Best Bet: Devin Booker 30+ points (-125)
While the Suns scramble to fill the Kevin Durant-sized hole in their lineup, they’ve counted on Booker to carry the offense — and he’s delivered. Through the team’s first four games, Booker has posted his highest usage rate since the 2018-19 season (32.7%) and is averaging a career-high 28.5 points per game on 51/38/81 splits along with 6.8 assists and four rebounds.
Booker has surpassed 30 points in three of his first four outings, entering Wednesday night on the heels of his best performance yet. In a game clouded by an overtime loss, Booker erupted for 34 points, hitting 5-of-12 from deep while adding 10 assists and five boards against the Utah Jazz on Monday night.
The face of the Suns is poised for another offensive explosion against a Grizzlies squad that hasn’t shown much resistance on the defensive end. Memphis’ defensive rating (117.6) ranks in the bottom third of the league, and the Grizzlies allow the sixth-most points in the paint per game (55.5) and the second-highest opponent three-point percentage (41.3%).
Coming off his best outing of the season, count on Booker to stay hot and drop 30-plus for the fourth time in five games.
