Keegan Murray (SAC) Under 2.5 3-pointers (-130)
Line available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Well, it’s do or die for the Kings tonight. They blew a 2-0 series lead and had their chance at taking Game 5 at home. Instead, they find themselves at one of the toughest stadiums to play in for opposing teams — and especially for rookies.
Keegan Murray is not an ordinary rookie. He is 22 years old and was a big part of the Kings’ success during the regular season. He fits in the offense extremely well with De’Aaron Fox’s downhill approach and Domantas Sabonis’s post-game. But Murray was virtually non-existent through the first 3 games of the series. He combined to make 3 field goal attempts and only 1 3-pointer. He finally showed up in Game 4 with 5 triples. In Game 5 at home he converted on both 3-point attempts in the 1st quarter but didn’t attempt another one for the rest of the game.
This is the biggest game of the Kings’ franchise since 2003. Expect big games from the stars and high-volume shooters in Malik Monk and Harrison Barnes. Murray is under this line in 4 of 5 games this series and shot 6% less on the road compared to at home during the regular season.

Dennis Schroder (LAL) Under 7.5 points (-125)
Line available at BetMGM Sportsbook at time of publishing.
BetMGM and DraftKings have this NBA player prop line available, while FanDuel has it set at 6.5. Dennis Schroder is a fine backup point guard in this league. He’s had to take somewhat of a backseat since D’Angelo Russell came over from the Minnesota Timberwolves. His minutes have dwindled this series to an average of 24 minutes and only 19 last game.
Schroder showed out in Game 5 when Russell fouled out. He scored 12 points and converted on all 6 of his free-throw attempts in a game that went to overtime. The only other time he went over this line this postseason was the play-in game against the Timberwolves that also went to overtime. Schroder coming off a performance in which he didn’t even score and attempted just 2 shots. In a must-win game, I have Schroder projected at just 22 minutes and that makes this my best player prop bet in Game 6.
