All of a sudden, the Suns look like they know how to win games again. Last night, the Valley side defeated the Charlotte Hornets and recorded their third win in a row. This did nothing but ease up the uptight mood in the Suns’ locker room. Happy Devin Booker, who scored a game-high 30 points, dragged Kevin Durant to stake his money on a bet ahead of the upcoming NFL clash. It’s the clash between their favorite teams.

As we come to the end 2024-25 season NFL’s Wildcard Round, fans across the country gear up for the Divisional Round. Last night, there was an exciting match-up between the Buccaneers and Commanders for a berth in the Divisional Round. The winner of the game will face Devin Booker’s favorite team, the Detroit Lions, on Saturday. Since the Lions clinched the NFC North title and 1st seed, they will enjoy home-field advantage throughout the playoff.

Coincidentally, the Suns will travel to Detroit this weekend to face the Pistons. While Devin Booker already had planned to visit Ford Field, last night’s Wild Card game’s result further hyped him. The Washington Commanders defeated the Buccaneers and will travel to Michigan. And the Commanders are Kevin Durant‘s favorite team.

Who else could ask for a better match-up than this? Nevertheless, the reporters didn’t forget to get a reaction from D-Book on the grand coincidence. One reporter asked if he would make a wager with KD, and Booker said, “For sure. Whatever he wants to do… Man, we can talk about it now. You guys get it up for me.”

Moreover, the reporters alerted Booker about his travel plans. The star guard thought that the match-up was on Sunday and he was ready to stay up in Detroit a day after the Pistons clash. Now that he knows the actual schedule, it has eased his travel plans. He will be glad to catch up with his favorite team as he has professed earlier.

Devin Booker’s love for the Detroit Lions

The Michigan native never shied away from expressing love for his favorite sports teams. It’s all the sports franchises that are based out of Detroit. Especially for the Lions, Booker has a special bond. Whenever he’s in town during the Lions game, Booker manages to get a seat in the gallery.

During the 2023 preseason game against the Pistons, Booker managed to get a glimpse of the Lions. At that time, he made it clear why he loved the Lions. The star baller said, “Something I always wanted to do as a kid. Detroit sports is my life… I’ve been a fan of all of them, Detroit Red Wings, Pistons, Tigers — and obviously the Lions. Just touching back into my roots, how I grew up. Every Sunday has always been family time, watching Lions games .”

Nevertheless, the NFL rivalry within the Suns fold has brought the team closer amid their testing times. A week ago, the team struggled to win games and everyone spoke about splitting the team. Fortunately, the team has turned it around big time. What do you make of it? Let us know in the comments.
