Top 5 Underdog Props: Kawhi Leonard and Sabonis Shine in Kings vs. Clippers
The upcoming matchup between the Sacramento Kings and the Los Angeles Clippers promises to be exciting. With significant player props available on Underdog Fantasy, here are key players to watch.
Top 5 Underdog Props: Kawhi Leonard and Domantas Sabonis Shine in Kings vs. Clippers
Kawhi Leonard: Over 28.5 Points
Kawhi Leonard, forward for the Clippers, is enjoying one of the best seasons of his career. He is expected to score heavily against the Kings, who currently rank among the NBA’s worst defensive teams. Sacramento allows 120.5 points per game, the fourth-highest in the league.
With James Harden absent due to recent trades, Leonard will be relied upon more for scoring. In a previous encounter this season, he scored 33 points against the Kings, bolstering confidence in his ability to exceed 28.5 points in the upcoming match.
John Collins: Over 6.5 Rebounds
John Collins has stepped up since the Clippers traded center Ivica Zubac. The team will face a rebounding challenge in the absence of Zubac, making Collins a critical player for this task. He has successfully met or exceeded the 6.5 rebounds prop in his last three games.
With increased responsibilities, Collins is well-positioned to continue this trend against the Kings.
Domantas Sabonis: Over 10.5 Rebounds
Domantas Sabonis is another player poised for a standout performance. He averages 11.4 rebounds per game and has grabbed at least 11 boards in two of his last few outings. This includes a recent game against the Memphis Grizzlies, where he recorded 15 rebounds.
The trade of Zubac should open up rebounding opportunities for Sabonis against a Clippers team lacking depth in the frontcourt, making the over on 10.5 rebounds a strong bet.
Russell Westbrook: Under 20.5 Points + Assists
In contrast, Kings guard Russell Westbrook has struggled recently. He has fallen below the combined points and assists prop set at 20.5 in all his last four games. The Clippers’ defense, which allows the ninth-fewest points per game, poses a significant challenge.
In the previous matchup against Los Angeles, Westbrook managed to combine for 16 points and assists, further supporting the case for taking the under.
De’Andre Hunter: Over 1.5 Made Threes
De’Andre Hunter has been in good form, consistently making two or more three-pointers in his last three games. He is likely to maintain this trend against the Clippers, who have allowed an average of 17.3 three-pointers per game over their last three outings.
Conclusion
The Kings vs. Clippers matchup is set to showcase some exciting player performances. With key players like Kawhi Leonard and Domantas Sabonis primed to shine, enthusiastic fans can look forward to an engaging evening of basketball.
