The Phoenix Suns will be without Devin Booker for Wednesday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers, as the All-Star guard has entered COVID-19 health and safety protocols.
Even with Booker out and Chris Paul still sidelined by a thumb injury, the Suns are 11.5-point favorites over the Blazers on Tipico Sportsbook. The odds on their money line are -700.
The Suns are simply a more talented team than the Blazers, who are also dealing with significant injuries to a roster that had a lower floor to begin with. However, Phoenix was showing signs of decline before the news, so bettors should fade the spread at this large a number.
