✅ Best Bet
BET: Suns at the moneyline with DraftKings Sportsbook (-110)
📈 69% probability
This looks like it might be the time in the sun that Phoenix have been waiting so long for. Fresh off vanquishing LeBron James and the Lakers, Devin Booker, Chris Paul and the Suns look to matchup well against a Nuggets outfit who might realize they miss Jamal Murray a lot more than their previous results suggest. Our projection data has Phoenix opening up the series in Arizona with a win.
Most 'books are giving a price of around -189 on the Suns ML, but new customers with DraftKings Sportsbook can bet just a buck on ANY team in the playoffs to win their game and if you get it right, your $1 bet will become $100!

🧨 Best Prop
PLAYER: Chris Paul
BET: 10+ assists with PointsBet (+164)
So much of the early discussion in the first round was around the health of Chris Paul who went down in Game 1 with a serious-looking shoulder injury. It appeared to hamper his production until Game 6 when CP3 put in 29 minutes to give off 12 assists. If his shoulder is still causing him problems, working more as a facilitator might be a more beneficial use of Paul by the Suns. The odds on offer for double-digit dimes are crazy.
