ZT details his best player prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for Sunday night’s game between the Spurs and the Suns.
In a fun Western Conference matchup on Sunday night, the undefeated San Antonio Spurs roll into Phoenix to take on the Suns at Mortgage Matchup Center. The Spurs beat the Heat on Thursday for the franchise’s first-ever 5-0 start, while the Suns have scuffled to a 2-5 start. They did win their most recent game on Friday night at home against the Jazz in NBA Cup group play.
On the injury report, the Suns will remain without Jalen Green (hamstring) and Dillon Brooks (groin), while Isaiah Livers (hip) is doubtful. The Spurs will still be missing De’Aaron Fox (hamstring), Jeremy Sochan (wrist) and Kelly Olynyk (heel), who have yet to play this year, and they’ll also be without Luke Kornet (ankle), who has missed the last week.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, San Antonio is favored by 5.5 points, with the game total set at 227.5 points. In addition to the main game line, DraftKings Sportsbook has numerous player prop bets for Sunday night’s matchup. In this post, I’ll take a look at a few of my favorites. Let’s dive in.
Best Suns vs. Spurs Player Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Victor Wembanyama over 45.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-120)
Wemby has been incredibly productive in the first five games of his second season in the NBA. He is averaging 30.2 points, 14.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game for an average of 48.2 PRA (points, rebounds and assists).
On Thursday, he played a season-high 40 minutes against Miami and finished with 51 PRA. He only had 43 PRA against the Raptors before that, but he had 49 against the Nets in the game before that.
The Suns have allowed the eighth-most points per game this season and rank 11th in pace, so it should be an up-tempo game with plenty of points for the Spurs, setting up another Wembanyama showcase. The 21-year-old has taken it to the next level this season, and he’s showing why he was such a highly touted prospect before he was the No. 1 overall pick in 2023’s NBA Draft.
Devin Booker 30+ points (-101)
Booker has been carrying the Suns’ offense this season after the departure of Kevin Durant in the offseason. Jalen Green was one of the key returns in the trade, but he hasn’t played yet, leaving Booker to carry a 31.5% usage rate and post an average of 20 field-goal attempts per contest.
Booker is averaging 30.3 points per game and has scored over 30 points in five of the team’s six games this season. The Spurs have put together very solid defensive numbers, but with so much volume and opportunity, Booker still has a great chance to get over 30 points in this contest at home. Getting this prop at plus-money feels like a great value based on his recent numbers.

Julian Champagnie over 6.5 Rebounds + Assists (-139)
While he isn’t one of the flashiest young names in the Spurs’ rotation, Champagnie has excelled in his role this season. The fourth-year wing has started all five games for San Antonio and is averaging 29.4 minutes per contest. In addition to his 7.2 points per game, Champagnie is chipping in 6.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists per contest.
He had at least seven rebounds plus assists in each of his last four games, even getting five rebounds and two assists against the Heat on Thursday when his shot was off (1-for-6). Rather than back his streaky shooting, I prefer the over on his non-scoring numbers, since he is consistently involved in the game flow with rebounds and assists. In this up-tempo spot, look for Champagnie to be active and involved on the wing once again with his typical contributions.
