And when Beal sits, Booker produces more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Booker is averaging 25.7 PPG, a number that spikes to 28.6, per StatMuse, with Beal on the sidelines (over 20 games).&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Bulls play at the NBA&#8217;s third-fastest pace, which could lead to a lot of bucket exchanges between two teams that aren\u2019t great defensively. Tonight\u2019s total (234.5) is among the highest of the slate.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Booker is likely staring down roughly 40 minutes and 20 shot attempts. Several of those jumpers are sure to be from the perimeter (Booker is averaging a career-high 7.6 attempts\/game).&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Suns all-star dropped 29 on the Bulls last month, canning four triples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s huge scoring upside here. He\u2019s hit the 35-point mark six times without Beal and all three of his 40-plus-point games have come with his teammate inactive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-479767b6-5872-497b-ac44-239c07c7e3d5\"><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: Booker is 12-8 vs. this line when Beal is out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best NBA picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Doncic over 9.5 rebounds (+108)<\/strong>: There&#8217;s some solid value here as a plus-money play against the Denver Nuggets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Lakers star has cleared this line in three of his last four games \u2014 the only four he&#8217;s played without LeBron James since joining Los Angeles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doncic is averaging 10.8 rebounds per game over that stretch and reached the 40-minute mark twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He played the Nuggets in his fourth game as a Laker and corralled 10 boards, one of seven times he&#8217;s done so in his last 13 games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doncic had nine rebounds in a pre-trade meeting against Denver in November and was 3-0 vs. this line in this matchup last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Vassell over 2.5 threes<\/strong> (-117)<\/strong>: How good has Vassell\u2019s March been?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a look:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Stat<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>2024-25<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>March<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>PPG<\/td><td>16.1<\/td><td>19.6<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3PM<\/td><td>2.3<\/td><td>3.1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3P%<\/td><td>35.3%<\/td><td>38.7%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>FG%<\/td><td>43.7%<\/td><td>47.5%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With Victor Wembanyama and De\u2019Aaron Fox both out for the season, the touches and scoring opportunity should remain there for the San Antonio Spurs&#8217; fifth-year guard.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vassell has attempted at least seven shots from deep in all but one of his 10 March games, clearing this line six times.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s little reason to believe he won\u2019t be uncorking against the New York Knicks, who are 28th in the NBA in opponent 3-point percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-84329f2b-7888-4034-9979-03e8608897e5\"><em>NBA prop picks made at 12:36 p.m. ET on 03\/19\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker highlights the top NBA prop picks for Wednesday&#8217;s busy 11-game slate.
