Keaton Wagler has been a productive scoring option off the bench for the Clippers this season, averaging 12.3 points per game in his first nine appearances. That is nearly four points above the 8,5 line, making this an interesting player prop.
His season numbers are encouraging, as he has reached double figures in seven of nine games. Wagler has shown that he can contribute offensively even without a starting role, and his ability to score from beyond the arc gives him another route to reaching this total.
The matchup against Phoenix is also appealing. The Suns have allowed 119 points per game this season, ranking among the weaker defensive teams in the league. Wagler should have opportunities to find scoring chances against a defence that has struggled to contain opponents.
Wagler scored 15 points in just 18 minutes against New Orleans in his latest appearance. If he receives a similar opportunity in Phoenix, the 8,5 line is well within reach.
