The return of the NBA season means our favorite thing to bet is back: NBA player props. Action Network's analysts are all over Tuesday night's opening night slate with Suns vs Warriors player props tonight featuring best bets for Devin Booker and Chris Paul.
Here's a look at our best NBA player props and picks for NBA opening night.
Suns vs Warriors Player Props | Devin Booker, Chris Paul Best Bets
Joe Dellera: With Devin Booker's 3-point prop opening at 1.5 (-160), it may be fair to say that he's being slept on. Booker has taken notes on how 3-point shooting (or lack thereof) has impacted the Suns and has taken it well into consideration given his preseason increase in 3-point percentage.
Yep.
He's playing.

He's willing to take more and it can only be the beginning of a facet to Booker's game that may be growing with time. But only time will tell and it could be enough of a reason to place more value in Booker's 3-point capabilities this season. It's worth the "wait and see" as it all jumps off against a Warriors team he'd likely want to test it against.
Matt Trebby: Nothing sweeter than revenge and we're pretty sure that's probably a part of the agenda for Chris Paul as he faces off against the team that traded him. As CP3 suits up with the Warriors for his first real deal regular season action with the Dubs, it's no secret that a point may be sought to be proven.
Paul may aim to defy the "Father Time" woes and put his injury-prone history in the past, but the test starts right away for him. With Draymond Green ruled out, it's an opportunity for Paul to make up for what may be missing without Green in the lineup. With enough motivation on his plate, expect Paul to ball out in the over for points, rebounds, and assists.
Bryan Fonseca: Jamal Murray meets the Lakers for the first since embarrassing them in the 2022-2023 Western Conference Finals. Since that sweep and moving onto the raising a banner for the city of Denver, don't expect Murray to lose a step especially in front of Nuggets fans.
With the energy working in their favor, it's only right that Murray rises to the occasion to give the Nuggets fanbase more to look forward to which will likely come with going the over on scoring 25 points against LeBron and company.
