Parlay: Suns +4 + Richards over 9.5 rebounds + Leonard over 0.5 steals (+285)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suns +4 <\/strong>(-152):<\/strong> Phoneix made a trade for big man Richards and it’s made an instant impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the trade with the Charlotte Hornets, the Suns are 3-1. The sole loss came against the east-leading Cleveland Cavaliers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Richards fills a big hole at the centre position left by Jusuf Nurkic who went from starter to out of the rotation after being ineffective to start the campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the Clippers are a respectable 26-19 but struggle on the road. They are 9-11 away from the Intuit Dome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phoenix is 14-8 at home and is looking to make a move up the standings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Richards over 9.5 rebounds (-134):<\/strong> Speaking of Richards, the seven-footer has been stuffing the stat sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides one dud vs. Cleveland (four points, four rebounds), Richards has excelled, recording double-digit rebounds in the three other games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He’s also coming off his best performance as a Sun, scoring 20 points and grabbing 19 rebounds against the Washington Wizards in 33 minutes \u2014 his most playing time since Oct. 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m sure Mike Budenholzer loves what he sees and will rely on Richards to compete with Clippers centre Ivica Zubac who ranks fourth in the NBA with 12.5 rebounds per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leonard over 0.5 steals (-245): <\/strong>This is a juiced line but it brings the SGP from +155 to +285 so it feels like a no-brainer to tack it on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leonard’s played seven games this season since returning from injury and he’s recorded a steal in six of those contests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is on a minute restriction which might concern some but it hasn’t mattered before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a guy who averages 1.7 steals per game over his career. So it’s not surprising he’s been effective on the defensive end of the floor in his limited minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toronto Raptors fans will remember Leonard for his tenacious defence \u2014 amongst other things \u2014 and I expect the Klaw to be locked in to guard Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Co.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
