D.Booker u7.5 Ast-115

Booker has been having an excellent season and was tasked with carrying and facilitating the offense for much of the season. His full season numbers for assists are 7.7 per game on 13.6 potentials. However, since Bradley Beal has meaningfully returned and played consistently those numbers have dropped. Beal has played in the last 9 consecutive games and his own facilitating plus his ability to create his own shot has cut into Booker’s production. Over these 9 games, Booker is averaging 6.6 assists on just 10.3 potentials. This even seems unsustainable - his conversion rate jumps from 56.6% to 64% during this stretch. Partially due to having another elite shotmaker on the floor but this is above league average. With Beal over the entire season, Booker has exceeded this 7.5 line in just 4 of 12 games and considering the Kings are not nearly as much of a Pace up spot as last season I expect him to go under this 7.5 line.

D.Sabonis u21.5 Pts-125

0.8u

The Kings visit the Valley to take on the Suns in what should be an exciting game on a thin Tuesday night Slate. One player I expect to struggle in this matchup is Domantas Sabonis. Historically, he has not performed well against Nurkic in head-to-head matchups. In 12 career games, Sabonis has exceeded 20 points just once and even earlier this season Sabonis tallied just 15 points on 6/11 shooting. The primary issue has been he gets into foul trouble and this limits not only his minutes but his opportunities. Staying out of foul trouble will be even more difficult considering Keegan Murray (hip) is Questionable and if he’s unable to go, it takes away one of the Kings’ better defensive options to help insulate Sabonis. Sabonis has averaged 20.1 points per game this year, but he has struggled against these bigger and stronger Centers. I expect him to go under his 21.5 points prop.
