The Sacramento Kings are looking like a sure bet to stay in the Play-In picture, and center Domantas Sabonis is a major reason why. Sabonis has led the league in rebounding in each of the past three seasons and has recorded a league-high 28 rebounds twice this season. He's averaging 20.4 points, a career-high 14.6 rebounds, and 6.2 assists per game while shooting 45.5% from beyond the arc.
Tonight, Sabonis and the Kings will welcome the Golden State Warriors, who are also 28-27, for a short trip up I-80. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Sacramento is a slight underdog, and the point total is set to 237.5. Sabonis' rebounding has been impressive, with only three single-digit rebounding performances all season, and since January 1, he's averaging 16.0 boards per game. He's also grabbed 15 or more boards in 21 of his 51 starts, including each of his last four.
Sabonis' scoring has cooled down since an 11-game set in January that included 10 20-point performances; he's scored 20 or more points just three times since Zach LaVine joined the team at the trade deadline. However, if he's predicted to have a big rebounding night, some scoring will inevitably come with that, given that he leads the league in offensive rebounds and second-chance points. Even on a fully-healthy Kings roster against a defense that has allowed the ninth-fewest points in the league since trading for Jimmy Butler, 18 points is a reasonable expectation.
Here are some key statistics to consider for Sabonis' prop bets:
- Rebounding average: 14.6 rebounds per game
- Scoring average: 20.4 points per game
- Offensive rebounds: leads the league
- Second-chance points: leads the league
- Usage rate: fourth on the team since Zach LaVine joined
The Kings' position in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament race looks better after the San Antonio Spurs lost Victor Wembanyama for the season, and both the Phoenix Suns and Portland Trail Blazers have lost four in a row. Sabonis and the Kings will look to take advantage of this situation and secure a spot in the Play-In tournament. With Sabonis' impressive rebounding and scoring abilities, he's a key player to watch in the Kings' upcoming games.
