Even if this game gets sideways there is reason to let Sabonis cook after such a long layoff. Getting his legs back under him against one of the weaker teams in the league is a perfect spot. Sure there is the fear that a total blowout cuts into his minutes, but over the last 10 games Sabonis is averaging 10-16-21 and I anticipate him coming out cooking early. The Kings are jockeying for playoff position and even if their outside shooting is a little rusty after the break there will be a lot of easy assists in the paint and this number is too low for me.
They left my man off the All Star team and let him rest. The defensively suspect Spurs will pay. He could hit this by halftime and I will be sprinkling on another triple double here. Spurs allow guards to rebound like crazy on them and flirt with giving up a triple double with stunning regularity. Love this spot for Sabonis coming out of the break and love how he was dominating games heading into it
If the books keep giving us 3.5 instead of 4.5, we are taking it on Wemby. Kinda hoping his minutes limit is raised now that we are in the second half of the season, although it's not like the Spurs are playing for anything.
This is a large number for Wemby who has been playing excellent basketball, however this is a tougher matchup than it may appear at first glance. First and foremost Wemby averages 33.7 PRA on the season. The Spurs are also as healthy as they have been all season which could possibly dent Wemby's other worldly usage. Additionally the Kings have surrender the second fewest PRA to opposing Centers this season. Last but not least the Kings are 12 point favorites and It's entirely possible Wemby loses a couple 4th quarter minutes as a result.
