🏀 Rockets vs. Suns Player Props Today: NBA Picks & Best Bets (April 7)
📡 SBR Edge: Durant Leaves His Footprint at Mortgage Matchup Center
My Rockets vs. Suns player props today feature Kevin Durant Over 24.5 points (-102). He has cleared this line in both of his previous games against Phoenix this season. My NBA best bet is Jalen Green Over 19.5 points (-106), as he has scored 20 or more in seven of his last eight games, and he should be extra motivated against his former team tonight.

💰 Best Rockets vs. Suns prop bet
The Rockets have the ninth-shortest odds to win the NBA Finals.
Jalen Green Over 19.5 points (-106)
Green has been extra aggressive offensively since early March. He averaged 18.3 field-goal attempts per game last month and has scored 20 or more points in seven of his last eight games.
He's coming off back-to-back 25-point performances, attempting 19 or more shots in each outing. If Green attempts 18 or more shots tonight, we'll likely cash this bet. FanDuel lists Green Over 19.5 points at -106, but this bet is good up to -125 on the best sports betting sites.

Kevin Durant Over 24.5 points (-102)
Durant is on a mini-tour of facing his former teams. He scored 31 points against the Warriors in San Francisco on Sunday, and now he travels to Phoenix to face the Suns, who he spent more than two seasons with. Against the Suns this season, Durant has scored 26 and 28 points.
He has cashed this prop in back-to-back games overall, and facing his former team may be the extra motivation needed to get us over this line. His Over 24.5 points is -102 at FanDuel, but I would play this up to -115 on the best NBA betting sites.

🚀 Rockets vs. Suns same-game parlay
With just a 1-point spread in this game, parlaying one team's spread with an Over on the other team's player shouldn't inflate the odds too much. However, Bet365 believes Durant Over 24.5 points combined with Suns -1 should be priced at +310 - I think the payout should be lower.

💡 How I'm betting Rockets vs. Suns
I'm allocating 2.08 units for the bets in this article, which is what I would usually risk on two player props.
While I'm confident in both of these bets directionally, they aren't priced too far from where I'd set them. If I thought I had a larger edge, I would risk up to 2.5 units per bet - or up to 5 units in a once-in-a-year type scenario. I treat 1 unit as 1% of my bankroll.
