Take a look at the NBA betting odds for Game 2, with Phoenix expected to comfortably take a 2-0 lead.

The Suns have a 9.5-point advantage on Tuesday night with -110 and -550 odds at BetMGM Arizona, Caesars Sportsbook Arizona, and DraftKings Sportsbook Arizona.

FanDuel Sportsbook Arizona is expressing a lot of faith in Williams and the Suns, with a -10 (-112) spread and a -500 moneyline being offered.

Booker keeps up his impressive playoff performance

Booker’s impressive Game 1 performance featured him scoring 25 points, pulling down eight rebounds, and providing four assists.

Following his strong performance in the 2021 playoffs, Booker once again led his team in scoring with an average of 27.3 points per game. This was significantly higher than the second-highest scorer on the team, Chris Paul, who averaged 19.3 points per game.

Booker continued his streak of playing high minutes per game like an Ironman throughout last year’s playoffs, logging 41 minutes in Game 1 which is just above his average of 40.4 minutes during the 2021 postseason. He is currently the favorite at BetMGM Sportsbook (+360) to win the NBA Finals MVP award.

Booker and his team seem to have a solid connection with Arizona betting apps as they strive to deliver the Valley its first NBA championship in 54 years.
