Losing Booker is a massive blow for the Suns, and it's impacted the odds for this game at DraftKings Sportsbook. Phoenix is set as a 6.5-point underdog in this matchup, even though Jaylen Brown is listed as questionable for Boston.

The Suns are just 6-8 in the 14 games that Booker has missed this season, and they're averaging 104.8 points per game. Phoenix really struggled in a loss on Sunday, scoring just 77 points against the Portland Trail Blazers.

So, it makes sense that the Suns are major underdogs against a Boston team that is No. 2 in the NBA in offensive rating.

An All-Star in the 2025-26 season, Booker is averaging 24.7 points, 3.9 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game while shooting 45.4 percent from the field and 30.8 percent from 3-point range. The Suns are 10 games over .500 when Booker plays this season (27-17).

Phoenix still holds the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference, but it only has a 2.5-game cushion on the No. 8-seeded Golden State Warriors. Booker's next chance to play will be on Thursday, Feb. 26 against the Los Angeles Lakers.
