The Kings are playing the second leg of a back-to-back, and it’s against a fresh Thunder team. Sacramento lost to Boston yesterday, extending its losing streak to three games.
Meanwhile, Oklahoma City hasn’t played since Sunday and is on a six-game winning streak.
It’s not the time for the Kings to be losing games as they are currently ninth in the Western Conference, just a half game ahead of the 10th and 11th seeds. If this poor stretch continues, Sacramento may find itself outside the play-in game.
The Kings are nine-point underdogs at home tonight, and the game total is set at 233.5 points on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Below, I have featured my favorite Domantas Sabonis prop bets to consider from this contest.
Best Domantas Sabonis Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Domantas Sabonis over 12.5 rebounds (-115)
If the Kings expect to keep this game close, they’ll need Sabonis to have a big performance. He’s been in and out of the lineup this month, which has hurt the Kings’ playoff chances.
Sabonis played last night after a three-game absence and finished with 16 points and 17 rebounds. Sacramento fans can hope that a performance like that will carry over into the final stretch of the season.
Tonight’s game against the Thunder is arguably even more difficult than last night’s against the Celtics. Oklahoma City has the NBA’s best record and looks every bit ready to compete for a title.
It’s imperative that Sabonis shows up tonight, and he’ll have to do so on the boards. Sabonis is averaging a league-leading 13.9 rebounds per game. He’s on pace to lead the NBA in this category for the third straight year.
Unlike many stars, Sabonis isn’t a primary scorer. He averages 19.1 points per game, but he’s known for his rebounding prowess. No matter who he is matched up against, he’s a threat to post a double-double or even a triple-double. Sabonis has 52 double-doubles and nine triple-doubles this year.
While the Thunder average the 11th most rebounds per game, they also allow the eighth most boards per game. Sabonis should take advantage of a good opportunity in a must-win game tonight.
