Kevin Durant Points Over (22.5) 🥇
Kevin Durant will return from his calf injury that has kept him on the sideline since 11/8. The Suns have gone 1-6 since then so they will be happy to have him back.
I can’t find any sort of report about KD being limited tonight which I was suspicious about when I saw his number at 22.5 so I’ll gladly take the over here but I will continue to watch for reports about his minutes as the day goes on.
He’s facing the Lakers in an in season tournament game on TNT tonight and he has scored 30 points TWICE against the Lakers already THIS season. Booker and Beal played in both of those games as well.
KD has averaged 27.6 ppg this season and has gone over 22.5 in 7 of 9 games.
With expectations set high (and his line set low) for Kevin Durant's performance in tonight's Lakers vs Suns game, his ability to impact the scoreboard and control the game's pace should be a significant factor. For people looking to capitalize on NBA player prop trends, Durant’s performance could offer a great opportunity.
