Same Game Parlay odds: +444
Stephen Curry to Score 25+ Points (-330)
The Warriors had a near perfect preseason starting off 4-0, only to lose to the San Antonio Spurs in the final game. Steph had his worst shooting night of the preseason that day going just 2-for-11 from the field and 1-for-6 from three, but that shouldn’t discourage any bettors for the season opener in my opinion. Curry has regularly torched the Phoenix Suns averaging 30.2 points per game in the last 5 regular season meetings, playing just 33.6 minutes per game. He’s at almost 46% efficiency from the field and a really impressive 44% from three point land in those games. Combine that with the Suns lack of perimeter defense, I think Phoenix could be in a lot of trouble on Tuesday night. Let’s also not forget that he dropped a cool 50-piece in November of last year in what was the 2nd of 4 meetings between the two teams last season.

Devin Booker 2+ Made Threes (-230)
In 2 of the last 3 meetings between the Suns and Warriors, Booker has dropped at least 32 points on really good shooting splits. Pairing him up with Kevin Durant proved to be a slam dunk, in 11 postseason Games he averaged 33.7 points per Game while shooting 58.5% from the field and over 50% from deep. He didn’t show any signs of slowing down during the preseason, knocking down at least 2 threes in all 3 Games he played in while shooting at least 50%. With 2 lethal offensive players like Durant and Beal at his side now, Booker will have all the space in the world to roam around the perimeter and take as many threes as he wants. With the possibility of Draymond Green sitting this one out, Golden State could be a bit thin when trying to guard Book. There’s also the rivalry between him and Klay Thompson, so don’t be shocked if those two go head-to-head on several possessions in a row here. I’m confident Booker will deliver.
Bradley Beal 1+ Made Threes (-550)
Bradley Beal was one of the biggest signings this offseason in the NBA as he finally left Washington for a fresh start in Phoenix. His numbers have been terrific against Golden State in the last 5 meetings. He’s averaging 3.2 threes made during that stretch on 7 attempts per game which equals to 45.7% efficiency. Obviously, his production will dip a bit this season as he now has to share the offensive load with Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, but a bucket getter like Beal should still be able to get to his spots. As currently constructed, the Suns roster doesn’t have a typical point-guard, so Beal might be forced to do a bit more playmaking than he’s normally used to. Naturally, with the ball spending more time in his hands he will have more shooting opportunities, so backing him to knock down threes in this game sounds like a fairly solid idea to me.

Jusuf Nurkic to Record 10+ Rebounds (+140)
Another player the Suns got during the offseason is Jusuf Nurkic who arrived from the Portland Trail Blazers in the 3-team deal that sent Damian Lillard to Portland. The Bosnian Beast has only two assignments this season and that is to set screens and do work on the glass. The latter part shouldn’t be too much of an issue, he is basically the only typical center the Suns have at their disposal this season so I am expecting his numbers to be steady all year long. In 52 Games for the Blazers last season he averaged 9.1 boards per Game in just 26.8 minutes per Game, if he can up that to 30+ minutes a night I have no doubt in my mind he can average double digit rebounds this season. In the last 5 Games against Golden State he is averaging 8.4 rebounds per Game, the last time he played at Chase Center he finished with 12 boards.
