LaMelo Ball has only gone over this number in two of his last eight games. You don't average almost 27 PPG by scoring 16.7 PPG over three weeks of basketball without reversing the trend, and the Kings are the perfect opponent for Ball to do so against.

Mark Williams won’t play in this game for the Hornets. Jusuf Nurkic has grabbed at least eight rebounds in all four games that he has played with the Hornets, two of which Williams also did not play. When Nurkic played the Kings as a member of the Suns earlier this season, he grabbed 11 rebounds over 22 minutes. Regardless if he starts or comes off the bench, Nurkic has a favorable opportunity to hit this over.

Miles Bridges is averaging 23.1 points over his last 14 games. In nine of those games, he scored at least 23 points. One of the keys is that he attempted 19.7 shots per game during that stretch. Mark Williams (foot) is out again for the Hornets, leaving Bridges and LaMelo Ball to carry the scoring load. The Kings have the ninth-worst defensive rating in the league and I like the Hornets to keep this matchup fairly close, so Bridges should have a great opportunity to reach this over.

DeMar DeRozan is averaging 3.9 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game for the season. Since the Kings traded away De’Aaron Fox, he has averaged 4.5 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game. With regards to this prop, DeRozan has combined for at least 10 rebounds and assists in seven of eight games since the Fox trade. The Kings don’t have a true point guard with Malik Monk and Zach LaVine starting in the backcourt, so DeRozan should continue to receive added opportunities to rack up assists. I’ll pay the juice and take this over.

This is a big number for Malik Monk who averages a combined 27.6 PRA on the season. Monk has seen his usage decrease since the arrival of Zach LaVine. Monk is averaging 16 PPG/5.5 APG/3.4 RPG for a total of 24.9 PRA in the 7 games that LaVine has been a member of the Kings. Markelle Fultz also made his season debut in the Kings last game and his playing time is likely to lead to less playing time for Monk. Additionally, the Hornets play at a slow pace and Sacramento are double digit favorites.
