Look of the Day for Friday, Feb. 2: Book it for Booker

Kelly Oubre Jr. caught fire in the fourth quarter to give us our second Look of the Day cash of the week, and we're gunning for a second straight winner to close out a profitable week. Let's go back to the well and target our favorite NBA player prop for Friday's loaded slate.

Look of the Day: Devin Booker over 36.5 points + assists (-113 FanDuel)

Devin Booker is staring down a dream matchup on Friday night, as the Atlanta Hawks have been dreadful at defending shooting guards all year. The Hawks are giving up the most points and the ninth-most assists to opposing shooting guards.

Atlanta also ranks fourth in the NBA in pace, and Booker has a knack for stuffing the stat sheet in fast-paced games. In four games this season against teams that rank top five in pace, Booker is averaging 36.5 points and 8.3 assists. He also put up an average of 26.0 shots per game in those contests.

Those numbers are a bit skewed by his 62-point explosion against the Indiana Pacers last week, but given the matchup, it wouldn't be surprising if Booker went off for another high-scoring game. He might not even need the assists to clear this prop.
