Although the Sacramento Kings have lost four of their previous five games, they got back in the win column on Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Tonight, the 9-10 Kings look to win their second game in a row when they play the 7-12 Portland Trailblazers at 10:00 p.m. ET.
Here is my favorite prop bet for De’Aaron Fox against the Blazers tonight.
De’Aaron Fox to score over 28.5 points (-125)
During his eight-year NBA career, Fox has been one of the premier scoring point guards. But this year, he has taken his game to a whole new level. He is averaging a career-high 38 points per game while shooting 50.1 percent from the field. Fox is also 80.8 from the free-throw line, a career-high.
Of the 19 games Fox has appeared in this season, he has scored more than 28.5 points in seven of those games. This season, he is ninth in the NBA in scoring per game. In the 15 games he has played in November, Fox averages 29.7 points per game.
Fox has totaled at least 29 points in five of the last eight games. Although Fox scored only 14 and 26 points in his previous two games, it isn’t time to worry. The last time Fox scored under 28.5 points in back-to-back games, he bounced back with three games over that mark.
The Trailblazers allow 114 points per game, the 11th most in the NBA. Although Fox only scored 24 points against the Blazers in the third game of the season, he finished with 43 points in his last game in Portland in December 2023. You can get Fox’s over of 28.5 points at -125 on DraftKings Sportsbook.
