Prediction for the Kings versus Mavericks matchup
My optimal choice: Domantas Sabonis More than 13.5 rebounds (-105 at bet365)
My assessment
Domantas Sabonis is experiencing a remarkable season with the Sacramento Kings, averaging 20.5 points, 14.3 rebounds, and 6.2 assists. He is now leading the whole Association in rebounds, marking a personal career high. This will be my primary emphasis for this wager.
on the past 12 games, the Lithuanian center has exceeded the rebounding total on nine instances. Throughout that period, he has recorded fewer than 10 rebounds on only one occasion. Sabonis is exceptionally dominant at rebounding, and during his most recent encounter with the Dallas Mavericks, he exhibited similar prowess.
On December 30, Sabonis recorded 16 rebounds in a 110-100 victory against Dallas. Undoubtedly, their roster has undergone significant changes, with Anthony Davis as the franchise star and Luka Doncic now in Los Angeles. Davis, frequently injured, has sustained an injury and will be unavailable for several weeks.
This is a distinct opportunity for Sabonis to assert his influence on the rebounding front. They permit over 15 rebounds per game to centers, whereas Sabonis averages 14.6 rebounds away from home. He accumulated 30 rebounds throughout the past two games.
Kyrie Irving will assume a significantly increased burden following Luka’s departure. He has been heavily depended upon this season due to Doncic’s prolonged injury. Kyrie is averaging 24.1 points with a 40% shooting percentage from three-point range.
Nonetheless, his total this evening is excessively large for my preference. The guard has scored under 27.5 points in six of his previous eight games, recording only 13 points on Saturday against the Rockets. Two nights prior, Kyrie recorded 19 points as Dallas triumphed over Boston in a Finals rematch.
Klay Thompson has assumed a diminished role in Dallas. While he has consistently demonstrated proficiency as a 3-point shooter, his overall tally is excessively elevated for my preference. He has recorded fewer than 3.5 three-pointers in five consecutive games.
He has only surpassed 3.5 three-pointers on two occasions since mid-January. The Kings are not an exceptional squad in defending the three-point shot (ranked 29th in the league), nevertheless the Under is a secure bet tonight. Klay infrequently makes four or more three-pointers in a game this season.
