The Phoenix Suns face the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA Cup quarterfinals on Wednesday.
Devin Booker has been upgraded to questionable for tonight but my NBA picks are fading the superstar guard in what will be a tough match against an elite OKC defense.
Here are my best free Suns vs. Thunder props for December 10.
Best Suns vs Thunder props
| Player | Pick |  |
|---|---|---|
 Devin Booker |
Under 6.5 assists | +110 |
| Royce O'Neale |
Over 4.5 rebounds | -120 |
 Chet Holmgren |
Over 17.5 points | -115 |
Prop #1: Devin Booker Under 6.5 assists
Devin Booker has missed the Phoenix Suns last two games with a hamstring injury but has been upgraded to questionable for today. Books clearly expect the superstar guard to play and have released player props for him.
That said, he might not be 100% which could lead to less playing time and lower numbers than usual. Even at full strength, Booker would be a good bet to go Under 6.5 assists in this matchup.
He's gone below this number in five of his last eight contests and the Oklahoma City Thunder allow a league-low 106.9 points per game. OKC does a great job at pressuring ball-handlers and allows the second-fewest assists per game (23.9) with that number ticking down to 22.6 at home.
These teams faced off against each other two weeks ago and Booker finished with six dimes despite Phoenix easily eclipsing its team total with 119 points.
Prop #2: Royce O'Neale Over 4.5 rebounds
The Thunder are near the top of the league in virtually every category except for one; rebounding. OKC is 17th in the league in rebounding rate and will be even worse on the boards without leading rebounder Isaiah Hartenstein.
That makes this a nice spot for Suns forward Royce O'Neale who is second on the team with 5.4 rebounds in 29.9 minutes per game.
O'Neale is undersized for his position but makes up for that with his physicality and effort. He has logged at least five boards in 14 of his last 19 games.
Prop #3: Chet Holmgren Over 17.5 points
Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein (12.2 ppg, 10.7 rpg) has missed the last two weeks due to a calf strain. With the big man sidelined, Chet Holmgren has shouldered a bigger load in the frontcourt.
Holmgren is averaging 18.6 ppg on 58/36/79 shooting splits. He's capable of using his 7-foot-1 frame to score inside while also stepping outside to knock down shots from the perimeter. He's dropped 19+ points in four of his last five games and is coming off a contest where he scored 25 points in just 23 minutes.
He should torch a weak Phoenix frontcourt that allows opposing centers to shoot 56.4% from the field — the ninth-worst number in the league.
