The New Orleans Pelicans, Denver Nuggets, and Memphis Grizzlies are jockeying for first place in the conference, which seems to change hands almost daily over the last two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>The Suns are only three games out of first place in the conference. But they are clustered together in a second tier of teams that includes the Los Angeles Clippers, Dallas Mavericks, and Sacramento Kings.<\/p>\n<p>According to a recent update by DraftKings, the Suns are +1400 odds to win the 2022-23 NBA championship. The Suns were +1000 odds last week, prior to the injury to Booker.<\/p>\n<p>The Suns are in second place in a tight race in the Pacific Division. They trail the first-place Clippers by a half-game. The Suns are the betting favorite to win the Pacific Division at +120 odds, followed by the Clippers (+170) and Golden State Warriors (+475).<\/p>\n<p>In Western Conference futures, the Suns are +700 odds to win the conference for a second time in the last three seasons. They\u2019re fifth on the conference betting board. The Golden State Warriors are the favorites to win the Western Conference for a second season in a row at +400 odds. The Clippers are right behind them at +425 odds, followed by the Denver Nuggets (+500), and Memphis Grizzlies (+550).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Suns_Lose_Another_Starter_to_Injury\"><\/span>Suns Lose Another Starter to Injury<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Suns did not have starting point guard Chris Paul for four weeks of action. Paul injured his heel in early November, but returned to the starting five in early December. The Suns finally were at full strength for two weeks before Booker went down with a groin strain.<\/p>\n<p>Booker missed a few games before returning to action against the Denver Nuggets on Christmas. However, Booker barely played against the Nuggets. He aggravated his left groin less than four minutes into the first quarter and never returned, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/holiday-whine-bettors-call-for-refunds-after-devin-bookers-early-exit\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">irked bettors<\/a> who included Booker in same-game parlays at multiple sportsbooks. Without Booker, the Nuggets defeated the Suns in overtime.<\/p>\n<p>The Suns hope that four weeks is enough time for Booker to recover from his groin injury. In seven games without Booker this season, the Suns are 2-5 straight up.<\/p>\n<p>Booker leads the Suns in scoring by averaging a career-best 27.1 points per game. He\u2019s also contributing 5.6 assists, 4.6 rebounds, and 0.9 steals per game. He\u2019s shooting 37% from 3-point range, which is down from last season, yet still higher than his career numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Booker posted a couple of monster games already this season, including a 58-point eruption against the Pelicans in mid-December, and a 51-point outburst against the Chicago Bulls in late November.<\/p>\n<p>Landry Shamet (9.4 ppg) is the backup shooting guard on the roster. But he\u2019s been dealing with right Achilles soreness. Head coach Monty Williams will rely on Damion Lee (8.6 ppg) and Josh Okogie (4.4 ppg) to log minutes if Shamet is unavailable.<\/p>\n<div class=\"arve-wrapper\" data-mode=\"normal\" data-provider=\"youtube\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\">\n<div class=\"arve-embed-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Suns_on_the_Road_Plus_Trade_Rumors\"><\/span>Suns on the Road, Plus Trade Rumors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Suns are in the middle of one of their most difficult stretches of the season. They play 10 out of 12 games on the road, with back-to-back home games sandwiched in between a six-game road trip and four-game road trip.<\/p>\n<p>The Suns are halfway through their current six-game road trip, but went 1-2 so far. They have three upcoming road games against the Toronto Raptors, New York Knicks, and Cleveland Cavs.<\/p>\n<p>Power forward Jae Crowder decided to sit out the season in a contract dispute, but the Suns have yet to trade him despite drawing interest from multiple teams. The Suns have also been mentioned in trade rumors involving power forward John Collins from the Atlanta Hawks, and All-Star <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/nba-trade-rumors-nets-kevin-durant-heat-suns-raptors-grizzlies\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kevin Durant from the Brooklyn Nets<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Suns could consider adding backcourt depth prior to the trade deadline in February.
