Our pick
Devin Booker under 24.5 points
Read our reasoning
Booker averaging 23.0 PPG this season (3-game small sample), already sitting under the 24.5 line. Trend is DOWN (-5.8 in early games). Historical L10: only 2/10 over 24.5 (avg 23.2, range 2-43), L20: 8/20 — this line has held the majority of the time. Season median is 23. Both teams rank in the bottom 5 in pace (DEN 99.4 #25, PHX 98.7 #29), limiting total possessions and individual volume opportunities. Under total lean (231.5) further suppresses per-player scoring ceilings. DEN's defense rates #16 (DRTG 112.0), a real obstacle for Booker's drive-heavy game (12.3 drives/g at 69.2% FG on drives sounds efficient but his overall 23.9% USG won't generate enough volume at this pace to clear 24.5 consistently).
