Those are nearly identical to the numbers Durant posted over a 75-game sample size last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>KD has scored 21-plus points in seven of eight games this month while going 4-4 against this line \u2014 that&#8217;s a pretty solid floor to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He fell short of this line against the Raps on Feb. 23 but has scored 30 and 35 in his two other games them as a Sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Booker 2+ threes<\/strong> (<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>-435):<\/strong> This heavily juiced line gives our SGP a welcome odds boost from +200 to +310 \u2014 well worth it, in my opinion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Booker has netted two-plus 3s in 44 of 62 games this season (70.9%) and is shooting a respectable 34.5% from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He went 3-for-8 from deep against the Raptors a month ago and has cashed this bet in 11 of 14 games since the all-star break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Raptors vs. Suns predictions made at 1:45 p.m. ET 03\/17\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Toronto Raptors continue their West Coast road trip on Monday against the Phoenix Suns.
