Los Angeles Lakers vs. Phoenix Suns Player Props & NBA Picks for 10/26

NBA Best Bet Today #1: ⭐Devin Booker Over 26.5 Points (-115) at FanDuel

Devin Booker was the best player on the floor in Phoenix's 108-104 win over the Golden State Warriors. Booker finished with 32 points and made 13 of 21 shots. For Thursday's game against the Lakers, we're going to look at the over on his player point total prop. 

We're going with Devin Booker Over 26.5 Points (-115) at FanDuel. Without Bradley Beal playing, we saw Booker become more ball-dominant and essentially run the point for the Suns in the halfcourt. He showed he was able to handle a higher workload by scoring 32 points and also dishing out eight assists and tallying six rebounds. 

But for this bet, all we care about is his scoring, and his performance on Tuesday was encouraging. If Booker continues to be that ball-dominant going forward, we like the value on his overs if they are going to be priced in this range.

Betting Pick: Devin Booker Over 26.5 Points (-115) at FanDuel

NBA Best Bet Today #2: ⭐Kevin Durant Under 26.5 Points (-120) at BetMGM

It was a struggle for Kevin Durant in the first game of the season on Tuesday. Durant finished with 18 points in the win over the Warriors and made just 7 of 22 shots. We're going to target Durant's scoring prop for Thursday's game against the Lakers. 

We like Kevin Durant Under 26.5 Points (-120) at BetMGM. Durant was able to get to his spots against the Warriors but was just consistently off. He was able to create and elevate over defenders in the midrange but was not able to convert. 

Considering how Durant was able to get to his spots but not consistently score was troubling to see. We're going to continue to look at his under until he starts to turn it around or we see him develop a better scoring rhythm. The 3-point shot was noticeably absent for Durant too, with him only going 1 of 2 from beyond the arc.

Betting Pick: Kevin Durant Under 26.5 Points (-120) at BetMGM

NBA Best Bet Today #3: ⭐D'Angelo Russell Under 13.5 Points (-110) at BetMGM

One of the player props we hit on Tuesday concerned D'Angelo Russell when he took his under at 14.5 points and Russell scored just 11 while making only 4 of 12 shot attempts.  We're going to look to target Russell's under against the Suns, too. 

We like D'Angelo Russell Under 13.5 Points (-110) at BetMGM. From Tuesday and going back to the postseason last year, Russell hasn't scored more than 11 points in his last five games and has shot just 14-42 from the field in that stretch. 

There was a moment in Tuesday's loss to the Nuggets where LeBron James was imploring for Russell to pass him the ball, only for Russell to take an ill-advised contested 3. The play highlighted Russell's struggles and how he doesn't seem to be in-sync with the rest of the roster. It also showcased that he's essentially forcing up bad shots, and if he's going to continue that trend and bad shooting, we're going to target his under. 

Betting Pick: D'Angelo Russell Under 13.5 Points (-110) at BetMGM
