Suns vs Celtics Prediction, Picks and NBA Prop Bets for April 4: Beating Up on KD-Less Phoenix

The Boston Celtics have a potential “layup” as they host the listless Phoenix Suns. Not only has Phoenix dropped four straight, but it has also lost by double figures in each game. On top of that, Kevin Durant is injured and likely out of the game. As such, the NBA betting lines have Boston laying a dozen points. We’ll take this bet and here is why.

Grade I: 1-2 weeks
Grade II: 4-6 weeks (out for season)

Suns vs Celtics Prediction

Phoenix has been difficult to bet on NBA odds given its recent track record. The Suns have covered in just 35% of their road games when playing as an underdog (7-13 against the spread (ATS)) and are straight-up 6-27 as one. Boston has not had a stellar home ATS record (15-22) but should handle business.

Suns vs Celtics 2 Best NBA Player Props Today

• Celtics F Jaylen Brown Under 20.5 Points (-114)

A Celtics blowout means less playing time for its starters. This means Jaylen Brown may underwhelm on his NBA player props. The four-time All-Star averages 22.4 points but has been held under 20 points in four of his last six games. He’s also played under 30 minutes in his last five. Bet against his points prop.

• Suns G Devin Booker Over 37.5 Pts+Rebs+Asts (-117)

It all falls on Devin Booker to shoulder Phoenix’s load without Durant. He dropped 39 points in a loss to Milwaukee, and we easily cashed that prop. Now, we’re doubling down and banking on him to go over his combo props with assists and rebounds. He’s averaging eight assists and 4.1 boards post-All-Star break.

Suns vs Celtics Total Pick

Boston can shut Phoenix down, but the Suns will most likely let the Celtics score at will. Phoenix has given up 134.3 points on average in its last four games, which includes 132 against Boston. All the totals went over. Over 54% of Boston’s home games (20-17) also go over the total, thanks to it putting up nearly 118 points. Bet the over.

Suns vs Celtics ML Pick

You don’t need our expert NBA pick to guess the winner of this outcome. At -825, a loss would be the biggest upset since Atlanta back in November. Boston is 34-9 against teams below .500, while the Suns are just 12-26 against teams at .500 or better. Fade the Suns without KD, but bet Boston against the spread instead.

Suns vs Celtics ATS Pick

It’s worth keeping an eye on NBA news today for the statuses of Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis for Boston. But we’re confident the Celtics can still blow Phoenix out without them. Boston is just 3-9 ATS in its last 12 games as a favorite of 10+ points. But Phoenix has a -12.3 net rating in losses against Eastern Conference opponents. Boston’s got this.
