The Suns have been hit hard by injuries, which has contributed to them going 1-5 over their last six games. That included a nine-point home loss to these same Kings. Things won’t get any better for this matchup with Deandre Ayton (hip) out again. The Suns are also just 15-22 on the road, while the Kings are 21-15 at home. Light the beam.

This is a big number for Booker to hit. However, he has scored at least 33 points in both of the last two games without Deandre Ayton (hip), who will be sidelined again. It’s also a great matchup against a Kings team that has the fifth-worst defensive rating in the league. In two previous meeting with them this season, Booker scored 44 and 32 points, respectively. The 32-point performance came across just 29 minutes. Give me the over.

This has come down a fair amount and I'm not really sure why. Sounds like Kevin Huerter will be back for the Kings after missing the past three. Backcourt mate De'Aaron Fox has taken his game to a new level, averaging 29.5 points and 5.8 assists per game on 55.3% shooting over the past 15, in which the Kings are 11-4. No Deandre Ayton again for the Suns, who have lost five of six (their defense has been atrocious) and have a more "marquee" matchup back home Saturday vs. Philly.

There's some serious juice here, but it's worth the squeeze. Kevin Durant is still out, and he'll be joined on the sidelines by Deandre Ayton. Phoenix is just 15-22 on the road this season. The Kings are all but built in a lab to feast on compromised teams. Sacramento is winning in a whopping 75% of my model's simulations. Kings to win.
