The Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings played a high-scoring Game 1 on Saturday night, and that was very helpful for those who bet the OVER one some key players to score.
I have two starts that I am backing to score the ball, including a rebound prop for Domantas Sabonis that I’m taking for the second straight game on Monday night.
Let’s break down the picks:
Warriors vs. Kings best NBA prop bets
- Domantas Sabonis OVER 13.5 Rebounds
- De’Aaron Fox OVER 27.5 Points
- Steph Curry OVER 29.5 Points
Domantas Sabonis OVER 13.5 Rebounds
Domantas Sabonis has crushed the Warriors on the glass this season, and he did it again on Saturday despite a poor shooting performance.
Sabonis grabbed 16 rebounds in the game, and it’s not a surprise since he led the league in that category this season.
The Warriors simply don’t have the size to match up with Sabonis on the glass.
De’Aaron Fox OVER 27.5 Points
De’Aaron Fox was ready for the moment in his first playoff game, scoring a game-high 38 points.
Fox showed a willingness to take over the game, hunting Klay Thompson in switches as well.
Unless Golden State is willing to sacrifice offense to play Gary Payton II more, the team doesn’t have a guard that can hold Fox in check. The Kings star is worth a shot at anything below 29.5 points.
Steph Curry OVER 29.5 Points
Steph Curry scored 30 points in Game 1, and he didn’t really shoot that many shots in the game, finishing 11-for-20.
Steph was 6-for-12 through the first three quarters of the game before turning things on in the fourth, and I have to think he’s more aggressive in Game 2 with the Warriors on the verge of falling down 0-2 in the series.
Like Fox, the Kings don’t really have a great matchup for Curry outside of Davion Mitchell, and they have to sacrifice offense to get him in the game.
I’ll go OVER for Steph again in Game 2.
