Kings ML (+102)
Keegan Murray 3+ made threes (-145)
De’Aaron Fox over 26.5 points (-111)
Same Game Parlay odds: +426
Sacramento Kings ML over LA Lakers (+102)
The Kings have won 4 of the last 5 games against the Lakers including their meeting earlier this season. They will have a great chance to extend that streak here considering the Lakers will be playing their second game in as many nights. The Kings have also welcomed back De’Aaron Fox from injury against the Cleveland Cavaliers. They are 3-1 with him in the line-up this season. The Lakers have been conceding the most second chance points per game. Fatigue is unlikely to help matters tonight. With Domantas Sabonis ranking 7th in offensive rebounds per game, he should be well positioned to clean up the Kings misses here. The Lakers should struggle to keep pace with the Kings offense as a result.

Keegan Murray 3+ made threes (-145)
Keegan Murray has knocked down 3 or more 3-pointers in 3 of his last 4 games against the Lakers. That includes his 3-of-9 shooting night against them earlier this season. He shot 41.1% from deep last season and showed glimpses of returning to that form in his last outing against the Cavaliers, where he knocked down 5-of-8 shots. The volume of shots should not be an issue for him either. The Lakers are 23rd in the league in opponent 3-point attempts per game. The Kings forward has had some efficiency issues so far this month so do not be surprised if the Lakers give him clean looks until he gets going tonight. That is especially true considering they will have to try and pack the paint to help slow down Fox. Murray should be more than capable of knocking down 3 shots from deep given the space and time.

De’Aaron Fox over 26.5 points (-111)
The Lakers have had real issues containing Fox. He has scored 27 or more points in 4 of the last 5 games against them. Considering he is averaging 30.5 points per game this season, and having scored 37 against the Lakers already, he should be well set to replicate this. D’Angelo Russell is not known as a great defender and should struggle to stay in front of him here, especially if having to navigate Sabonis in the process. Fox has shown improvement as a 3-point shooter too, knocking down 36.7% of his attempts so far this season. That combined with the fact that the Lakers are in the bottom 10 in defensive rating, and Fox should be able to do damage once more.
