Best Paolo Banchero prop bets for Magic at Kings

The Magic are visiting the Kings on Wednesday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Sacramento is favored 5.5 points and this game presents a total of 218.5 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Paolo Banchero prop bet to consider from this contest.

Best Paolo Banchero Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Paolo Banchero U 35.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-120)

Its been ugly for the Magic since Banchero returned 12 games ago. Orlando has lost ten of these games, and the Duke product has been underwhelming by his standards, averaging 19.8 points, 7.0 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game. Banchero is shooting 38% from the field and he is a -9.4 net rating during this stretch.

Banchero has only surpassed 35.5 PRA in three of his 12 starts since returning and Wednesday’s matchup vs. the Kings isn’t appealing it seems. While Sacramento ranks 18th in defensive rating for the season, they just traded De’Aaron Fox to the Spurs and in the four games the guard has missed this season, the Kings own a 105.75 defensive rating, which would rank second in the NBA if it was their average for the season.

The Kings also play at slower pace without Fox and expecting Banchero to top this high 35.5 PRA combo line in this spot is unreasonable. Under 35.5 PRA is a strong bet and parlaying this prop with the Kings on the ML has merit given Orlando’s recent struggles and that the Kings are 4-0 without Fox this season. On DraftKings Sportsbook, a two-pick SGP of Banchero U 35.5 PRA and Sacramento ML comes out to an appealing +136 price.
