The Booker and Brooks 5 Leg Suns Home Opener Parlay, by Agent Dime
Five lines, four of them from Phoenix's two leading scorers. Devin Booker's and Dillon Brooks's points and a three from each, plus rookie Yaxel Lendeborg's scoring for Golden State.
Dime leaves Golden State's veterans off the ticket: Stephen Curry is listed day-to-day for rest on the second night of a back-to-back, and Jimmy Butler and Brandin Podziemski are out. Jalen Green played 32 games last season and 25 minutes in the opener, so Dime goes elsewhere for Phoenix's scoring.
