Devin Booker & Deandre Ayton

The Mavericks take on the Suns in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals on Sunday afternoon. Deandre Ayton (75% opening-tip win rate) will be taking on Dwight Powell (25% win rate) in the opening tip-off. Ayton has a significant advantage and should control the tip.

Both teams have done well this season scoring first. The Suns score first 58% of the time. The Mavs get the first basket of the game 54% of the time.

In six games against each other this season, Phoenix has scored in the last four games with Dallas taking the first two.

Phoenix has three guys who dominate in first field goals – Booker, Ayton and Jae Crowder. I like Booker the most for today’s game.

In three of the six games head-to-head, Booker has taken the Suns first team shot and each time it has been a three-point attempt. Booker made a three to start the game on Friday night and that exact method was priced at +1600. For some reason, today it is +2000.
