Parlay: Suns moneyline + Durant over 23.5 points + Powell over 17.5 points (+300)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suns moneyline (-200):<\/strong> Kawhi Leonard is out for the foreseeable future and Paul George is off to the 76ers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embed: #98122<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last season, the Suns beat the Clippers without Kawhi and PG, 124-108, in Los Angeles In fact, L.A. was 0-3 in games without those two stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

James Harden remains with the Clippers, but he’s shown he can’t carry a team like he used to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other side, the Suns are about as healthy as they can be. All three of Bradley Beal, Devin Booker and Kevin Durant logged 27-plus minutes in the preseason finale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Big Three looks ramped up and ready to go, and I’m looking to jump in the waters early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Durant over 23.5 points (-127):<\/strong> Is it just me or is this line a little disrespectful?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embed: #98120<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Durant averaged 27.1 points last season on 52.3% shooting. He cleared this line in 51 of 75 games (68.0%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The four-time scoring champ proved he is still one of the best in the world at the 2024 Olympic Games, playing a crucial role in the USA’s gold medal victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, Durant has surpassed this point total in both games versus the Clippers at Crypto.com Arena since joining the Suns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powell over 17.5 points (-103):<\/strong> Someone will need to step up for Los Angeles, and Powell is the best choice to take on a bigger role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embed: #98121<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former Raptor is coming off a down year (13.9 PPG) but is poised to bounce back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powell looked good in preseason, averaging 11 points on 54.2% shooting in only 16.5 minutes of action per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s no doubt that his minutes will increase now that the games matter. Powell is arguably the Clippers’ best pure scorer, and he should see an uptick in minutes this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, Powell averaged 26.2 minutes off the bench. He’s expected to be in the starting five to begin the 2024-25 season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
