Suns vs. Raptors NBA Prediction
The Suns are only 4-point road favorites on Tuesday night in Toronto at 7:30 p.m. ET. The Raptors have won seven out of their last 10 games overall but are they a wise play as a home dog?

Phoenix Suns DFS Notes
Devin Booker shot 5-of-15 from the field and 13-of-13 from the foul line in Saturday’s 123-100 loss to the Heat, finishing with 26 points, four rebounds, three assists, two steals, and three 3-pointers in 33 minutes. Booker had a rough night shooting the ball from the field, but he was able to salvage the night (to a certain extent) at the charity stripe. And that’s a good thing, as Booker is a combined 10-of-37 from the field in his last two games. Inefficiency aside, he has now scored 22 points or more in six of his last seven games. But this has not resulted in enhanced fantasy value, as the combination of poor shooting and the lack of defensive production (four steals and four blocks total) has been an issue. He’s still a 4th-round player in 9-cat formats, but Booker is capable of much more.
Toronto Raptors DFS Notes
Pascal Siakam notched a 29-point, 10-rebound double-double on Sunday, adding seven assists, three triples, two steals and just two turnovers across 43 minutes in a 105-101 win over the Pelicans. Siakam shot just 6-of-16 from the floor his last time out, but he was much more efficient tonight, finishing 8-of-18 from the field and a perfect 10-of-10 at the stripe. He also continued to flash some impressive playmaking skills, and over the past seven, he’s been handing out 6.4 dimes a night to go with 24.3 points, 10.1 rebounds, 1.4 triples, 1.7 steals, 0.7 swats and 3.1 turnovers per contest on 49.2% shooting from the field and 73.5% at the line, which has been good enough for top-30 value in 9-cat leagues.
