Hornets vs. Suns Prediction for Friday, 12/29

Despite recent struggles, it is hard not to like Phoenix for our Hornets vs. Suns prediction. The Hornets are easily one of the worst teams in the NBA, and that kind of matchup makes for a perfect momentum-building game for the Suns.

Given the mismatch, the Suns money line (-1350) isn’t necessarily the best option, and a 15.5-point spread might scare off some bettors. That’s why we love a few Hornets vs. Suns player props, and have listed a few below that you can get behind.

This one should be all Suns, as the Hornets continue to struggle and slide further down the Eastern Conference standings.

Hornets vs. Suns Player Props & Free Picks Featuring Player & Player

With all due respect to the Hornets, it’s all about the Suns players when it comes to Hornets vs. Suns player props. The two biggest names to watch are two of the best players in the NBA: Kevin Durant and Devin Booker.

Let’s make one of our Hornets vs. Suns player props Durant’s points/rebounds combo. Durant is sixth in the NBA in scoring, averaging 30.2 points per game. His over for points and rebounds is set at 33.5 (-125 at DraftKings) for this one. He has only bested the mark in three of his last eight, but two of those (including 44 on 12/19) have come in his last three games. Durant could top his combo just in points against a porous Hornets team.

The second of our Hornets vs. Suns player props is Booker over 26.5 points (-120 at DraftKings). Booker has been on a bit of a cold streak, turning out just 20 points on Christmas Day, his lowest output in his last 10 games. That said, he has gone over 26.5 points in six of his last 10 games, twice hitting 34 in that stretch.

Booker and Durant are two of the best scorers in the league. Against a very bad Hornets team, this should be a chance for them to gain a bit of confidence. If these guys have a good night, consider taking a good long look at the Suns team points prop as well (Over 123.5, -115 at DraftKings). This should be a good night all around for the home team.

Hornets vs. Suns Betting Odds & Lines via DraftKings Sportsbook

The odds alone seemingly make a Hornets vs. Suns prediction simple. After all, the Hornets have lost eight in a row. If it weren’t for the Pistons and their incredible 28-game losing streak, they would be battling for the bottom spot in the Eastern Conference.

The Suns remain a heavy favorite despite troubles of their own. They are 10th in the Western Conference at 15-15 but have lost seven of their last 10 games. Still, with Kevin Durant and Devin Booker in the lineup, they have the ability to whoop anyone on any night.

Here are DraftKings’ odds concerning our Hornets vs. Suns prediction for tonight’s game:

  • Point Spread: Hornets +15.5 (-110) vs. Suns -15.5 (-110)
  • Money Line: Hornets (+800) vs. Suns (-1350)
  • Point Total: Over 230.5 (-110) / Under 230.5 (-110)
  • Kevin Durant PTS + Reb: Over 33.5 (-125) / Under 33.5 (-105)
  • Devin Booker PTS: Over 26.5 (-120) / Under 26.5 (-110)

If you are after our Hornets vs. Suns player props, a $120 bet on Booker profits $100 if he pours in 27 points or more. After our Hornets vs. Suns prediction on the spread? A $110 bet cashes $100 if the Suns win by 16 points or more.

Hornets vs. Suns Injury Report and Projected Lineup

An important factor that went into our Hornets vs. Suns prediction was the injury report. After all, how can you bet on successful Hornets vs. Suns player props if you don’t even know who is in the lineup? The Hornets are injury-free, which would be a good thing for a team that has won more than a handful of games.

Guard Damion Lee has been out a while now and remains out indefinitely with a right meniscus injury. The real question is star guard Bradley Beal. He is reportedly ahead of schedule in his recovery from an ankle injury. If he is in the lineup, it could not be easier to make a Hornets vs. Suns prediction.
