Devin Booker made four threes against Charlotte as Phoenix won for the fourth time in five games. Against a Lakers team on a seven-game winning streak, his shot volume gives the Suns a way to keep pace.
If you see Phoenix winning, look at how the Suns score and how they handle a big night from Luka Dončić. Booker’s threes and Miles Bridges’ assists cover two jobs on offense, while Dončić’s points show how much the Suns might have to overcome.

Devin Booker over 1.5 made threes
Booker went 4-for-8 from deep against Charlotte. Even when the shots weren’t falling against Houston, he got up nine attempts and made two. He’s taken at least six threes in every Suns win this season, so the first thing to watch is whether Phoenix can keep getting him those looks against Los Angeles.
He’s made at least two in all five wins and nine of 11 games overall. The broad record shows he can get there in a loss too. At −178, the price is steep given that three of the five wins landed on exactly two makes.
Miles Bridges over 2.5 assists
Bridges handed out seven assists against Houston with both Booker and Jalen Green in the starting lineup. If the Lakers send extra attention toward Booker, watch whether Bridges gets the ball on the next pass with a chance to find a cutter or swing it to a shooter.
He’s reached three in four of Phoenix’s five wins and seven of 11 games overall. The exception came when the Suns scored 133 against the Clippers and Bridges had two assists in 18 minutes. Phoenix can move the ball well with other players doing the passing.
Luka Dončić over 36.5 points
Dončić put up 41 points against Portland and 37 at Golden State in the Lakers’ only two losses. He made six threes in each game and added 11 free throws against Portland. If Phoenix stays home on his teammates, he has room to keep taking shots even if the Suns lead.
He’s reached 37 in seven of 11 games overall. Austin Reaves played in both losses and will miss the Phoenix game. His absence could mean more shots for Dončić and also gives Phoenix more reason to send help. He finished with 32 points and 10 assists against Atlanta, a reminder of what can happen when more of his work comes as a passer.

Where do you see Phoenix getting its points?
Booker’s threes fit if you expect him to keep getting shots from outside. Bridges’ assists cost less if you see Phoenix using the attention on Booker to create chances elsewhere. Dončić’s points fit a Suns win where they can keep the rest of the Lakers from doing enough around him.
