Raptors same-game parlay picks vs. Suns Nov. 29: Phoenix should extend winning streak in Toronto

The red-hot Phoenix Suns are at Scotiabank Arena tonight to face the Toronto Raptors.

The pregame narrative: Phoenix has won seven games in a row entering Wednesday, while Toronto is trying to avoid its first three-game losing streak since the opening week of the season. Backing the Suns on the moneyline and fading O.G. Anunoby are two-thirds of tonight's +300 parlay.

Same-game parlay Raptors picks

Parlay: Suns moneyline + Over 219.5 points + Anunoby under 4.5 rebounds (+300)

Suns moneyline (-134): Phoenix might not have its top player in the lineup tonight, but there's still plenty of star power to go around.

Kevin Durant, who missed the past two games, was listed as questionable in this morning's official NBA injury report. His 31.4 points per game would go a long way for the Suns, but they still won their two recent matchups without him.

That has a lot to do with the exploits of Booker, who dropped 40 in one of those games and had a 28-point double-double in the other. The Suns are now an impressive 7-2 on the road this year and should benefit from back-to-back days of rest.

Since the start of last season, the Suns are 16-8 when wielding a rest advantage, per Team Rankings. The Raptors, who lost in Brooklyn last night, are 7-11 with the rest disadvantage in the same span.

Other parlay picks

Over 219.5 points (-240): Toronto has hit the over in four of its six home games this month, and the average point total in those matchups has been 232.7. Now, the Raptors welcome one of the most overs-friendly teams to Scotiabank Arena.

The over is 12-5 in Suns games so far, which includes a 5-1 record in their past six road games. Phoenix has also hit the over in nine of its past 11 games overall.

Teasing this number down takes into account the uncertainty regarding Durant and Grayson Allen's respective statuses (both are questionable). Durant and Allen have both been lethal from 3-point range, shooting over 47.0% each.

Still, this is a number Phoenix has shown it can clear far more often than not. And Toronto's recent trend of overs at home helps, too.

Anunoby under 4.5 rebounds (-165): The Suns play slowly and score efficiently, which is a rough combo for anyone trying to rack up rebounds.

Phoenix has the fourth-slowest pace (97.6 possessions per game) and the fourth-highest true shooting percentage (60.1%), per NBA.com. Sure enough, the Suns are a top-three team in terms of limiting opponents' rebounds (41.0 per game).

Anunoby often hovers around this number, hitting the under at a slightly better-than-average rate. He's posted 4.1 rebounds per game so far and hit this under in eight of 14 matchups.
