He hit the 35-point milestone in both matchups last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And given that he&#8217;s averaging a career-high 32.5 PPG this year, I&#8217;m quite comfortable backing him at this number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNTcxMDUzJnA9MjM3MDk%3D\">Suggs over 2.5 threes (-162)<\/a>:<\/strong> As a straight wager, Suggs over 3.5 threes might be the best play for this game.
