Domantas Sabonis over 17.5 rebounds+assists (-115 on Caesars)

Since being acquired in a trade from Indiana, Sabonis is averaging 12.9 rebounds and 5.6 assists with the Kings. He has gone over this total in 9 of 11 games with Sacramento. Sabonis had 14 rebounds and 5 assists against Denver on February 24, and two days later in the same matchup had 16 points and 7 rebounds. Sabonis took 23 shots from the field in the first game against Denver, but hasn’t been shooting as much since with 14, 8, 16, 8, 10 and 13 shots from the field.

Marcus Smart over 18.5 points+assists (-125 on BetMGM)

The Celtics have been rolling and Smart has played a big role. Smart has gone over this total in 5 of the last 6 games and 8 of the last 10 games. Smart averaged 13 points and 5.2 assists in February and is averaging 16 points and 8.7 assists over the last 3 games. Smart faced Charlotte on February 2 and had 22 points and 6 assists. Charlotte is 2nd in pace, 23rd in defensive efficiency and allows 114.8 points per game, which is the 3rd-worst in the NBA. The Hornets allow 26.2 assists per game, which is tied for the worst in the NBA with Portland. It’s a good spot for Smart.

Dorian Finney-Smith over 10.5 points (-110 on FanDuel)

Finney-Smith has been shooting well lately, especially from three-point range. The Knicks allow 37.4 three-point attempts per game, which is 5th-worst in the NBA. The Knicks’ defense hasn’t been close to what they were last season. Finney-Smith has gone over this total in 7 of the last 8 games. He has scored 14, 16, 18, 17 and 21 points the last 5 games. He has hit at least 3 three-pointers in 4 straight games.
