The Suns are hosting the Nuggets in Phoenix on Christmas Day. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Denver is favored by 2.5 points and this game carries a total of 232 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Kevin Durant prop to consider from this contest.

Best Kevin Durant Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook

Kevin Durant O 30.5 Points (-120)

The Nuggets held Durant to 23 points on Monday, but Durant should bounce back in Wednesday’s rematch with Denver. This Christmas Day matchup will be in Phoenix, where the forward is averaging 2.7 more PPG than when on the road this season, and this game’s 232-point total on DraftKings Sportsbook is the highest of the five-game slate.

Most importantly, Devin Booker (groin) will miss his third game in a row. While Durant only finished with 23 points Monday, this was mostly a product of a 27-point blowout and in his previous start, Durant went off for a season-high 43 points vs. the Pistons in his first start of the season without Booker.

With Booker off the court this season, Durant’s usage rises 7.6 percentage points to a whopping 39.4% and he averages 32.3 points per 36 minutes. Durant should have a vintage performance Christmas Day and needs to be backed for over 30.5 points on DraftKings Sportsbook.
