Look of the Day for 4/26: Fast start for Suns' Booker 

It's been a back-and-forth week in our Look of the Day series, but we're looking to close out the week with a winner. Let's head back to the NBA playoffs and target our favorite player prop for Friday's slate. 

Look of the Day: Devin Booker over 7.5 first-quarter points (+102 FanDuel)

The Phoenix Suns need to get off to a good start in Game 3 to avoid going down 0-3 against the Minnesota Timberwolves, and we're expecting Devin Booker to lead the charge in that regard. Booker ranked fifth in the NBA in first-quarter points (8.4) and sixth in first-quarter field-goal attempts (6.0) in the regular season, and he's coming off an aggressive start to Game 2 in which he attempted seven shots and went to the line five times in the first quarter. 

This is going to be an all-or-nothing game for Phoenix, so Booker will likely play the entire first quarter and try to get his shot going early. It's tough to trust the Suns' offense because they run so much isolation and force feed the hot hand, but Booker has been that guy early in games all season. This is his team, and he needs to be the spark that gets the crowd going and gives the Suns some much-needed confidence.
