The Sacramento Kings are set to face off with the Brooklyn Nets tonight in the final game of today’s NBA slate. This will be the first matchup between the two teams so far this season.
Sacramento enters this game with a fairly clean bill of health. Malik Monk will continue to miss time due to his ankle sprain with all other key contributors set to suit up as normal. The Nets will be without Dorian Finney-Smith due to an ankle injury and Bojan Bogdanovic who continues to be out with a foot issue.
The Kings enter this game as 9.5-point favorites on DraftKings Sportsbook. The Nets are +310 underdogs on the moneyline with the game total set at 224.5 points.
As the Kings prepare to face off with the Nets in the final matchup of tonight’s slate, here are the best De’Aaron Fox prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook:
De’Aaron Fox Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
DraftKings Sportsbook has set De’Aaron Fox’s prop lines for points (26.5), rebounds (4.5), assists (5.5), and made three-pointers (1.5). Here are the top betting options to consider:
Over 26.5 Points (-125): The point line for De’Aaron Fox is set at 26.5 points with the over favored at -125 and the odds for the under set at -105. So far this season Fox has averaged a career-high 28.8 points per game. He has especially been in attack mode lately including back-to-back scoring outputs of 49 and 60 points last week. Overall this season he has gone over the 26.5 prop line in nine of the 16 games, including each of the past five games.
Brooklyn has not been overly impressive defensively this year and rank 20th in opponents points per game. Fox has been in attack mode lately and attempted 20+ shot attempts in each of the past four games and 10 of the 16 games on the season. Look for this trend to continue as they face off with an inferior opponent and for Fox to eclipse 26.5 points for the sixth consecutive game.
Over 4.5 Rebounds (-105): The rebounding line for De’Aaron Fox is set at 4.5 with the under-favored at -125 odds and the over set at -105. Fox has averaged 5.1 rebounds per game this season which would be a career-high for the 6-foot-3 guard. He has gone over 4.5 rebounds in 11 of the 16 games this season including the past two games.
Brooklyn has especially struggled rebounding the basketball this season ranking dead last in rebounds per game as a team. They also are the fifth-worst in opponents’ rebounds allowed. While this will primarily benefit Domantas Sabonis, whose rebounding prop is set at 12.5, Fox has been more involved in rebounding the ball than typically the case. I like Fox to record over 4.5 rebounds again tonight.
Over 5.5 Assists (-105): The assist prop for Fox is set at 5.5 with the under-favored at -125 odds and the over set at -105. Fox has averaged 5.8 assists per game this season which is slightly below his career average of 6.1 per game. This largely has to do with Fox playing with a score-first attitude which has been beneficial to the team.
Overall, Fox has gone over 5.5 assists in nine of the 16 games. However, he has eclipsed 5.5 assists in each of the past five games averaging 8.0 assists during this time. As his scoring output has improved, the threat of the pass has been established and helped open up the Kings’ entire offense. I like Fox to record over 5.5 assists for the sixth consecutive game tonight.
Over 1.5 Made Three-Pointers (-188): The three-point line for De’Aaron Fox is set at 1.5 with the over heavily favored at -188 odds and the under set at +140. Fox is averaging 2.1 made three-pointers per game on the season. He is attempting 6.3 long-range shots per game which is a slight step back from the 7.8 he averaged last year and connecting at a 34% rate. Fox has made at least one three-pointer in 14 of the 16 games and gone over the 1.5 three-point line in 10 of the 16 games.
The -188 odds for over 1.5 made three-pointers is high but expect Fox to knock down a pair of three-pointers tonight. He has done a really impressive job attacking inside the arc this year, but the three-point volume for Fox should be expected to grow as the season progresses. There is some value on the board at +155 for Fox to make three or more long-range shots. He has reached this number six times already this season.
Futures Outlook: The Kings currently sit in 12th place in the Western Conference and hold -110 odds of making the playoffs. They are tied for the 10th-best odds to win the Western Conference at +3000. Sacramento also has the 19th-best odds of winning the championship at +8000. De’Aaron Fox also is tied for 13th in MVP odds on the season at +10,000.
