The Hawks host the Kings tonight, and the Hawks will be shorthanded, with Dyson Daniels (hip), De’Andre Hunter (knee) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) out. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Sacramento is favored by six points and this game’s total is set at 236.5 points.
Below, I have featured my favorite Trae Young prop to consider from this contest.
Best Trae Young prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Trae Young Over 39.5 Points + Assists (-120)
Young is the main source of offense for the Hawks whether it’s from his scoring or passes. The seven-year point guard is averaging 28.2 points and a league-leading 11.6 assists per game. He’s tallied double-digit assists in four of the five games this season, while also hitting the 30-point mark in three contests.
Young has had the benefit of playing three bottom 10 defenses in the Wizards (twice), Nets and Hornets. His worst game came against the Thunder — the NBA’s top defense. Sacramento owns the No. 9 ranked defense, but its inflated due to two games against the Jazz and Trail Blazers. The Hawks have a top 10 offense in terms of points per game, so expect a much higher-scoring match. The game’s total of 236.5 is the highest of Friday’s slate on DraftKings Sportsbook.
With that said, Young is set up to have a lot of touches. The offense flows through him, and with Daniels, Hunter and Bogdanovic sidelined with injuries, Young will get even more opportunities. Jalen Johnson and Onyeka Okongwu are available, giving Young enough options to dish to.
