A pair of Western Conference rivals go at it tonight in Phoenix as the Suns host the Sacramento Kings. Only a half-game separates these 2 teams in the standings, so it promises to be an exciting clash. Tip-off is set for 10:00 pm ET on TNT and I’ve prepared a Kings vs Suns Same Game Parlay. We cashed our Timberwolves vs Clippers Same Game Parlay last night so let’s make it 2 in 2 days! Make sure you also read our NBA picks for all of today’s big games.
Kings ML (+168)
Kevin Huerter over 1.5 made threes (-170)
Bradley Beal over 1.5 made threes (-136)
Same Game Parlay odds: +553
Sacramento Kings ML over Phoenix Suns (+168)
The Kings’ form has taken a slight dip lately with them losing 3 of 4 games, but I think this is a really solid bounce-back spot for them as they face a team they’ve beaten already twice this season. They’ve been very successful in recent head-to-head meetings against the Suns, winning 4 of the last 5 and also covering the spread in 5 straight. In their last 8 visits to Footprint Center, they’re 7-1 ATS.
Health-wise, the Kings are also in top shape, which is a rarity in the NBA after more than 50 games played in the regular season. I’m expecting De’Aaron Fox to put up big numbers, as he’s averaging 30 points per game on 49.2% from the field and 52.2% from three in the 3 meetings this season. I’m taking the underdog Kings to pull off the upset here.
Kevin Huerter over 1.5 made threes (-170)
Kevin Huerter is one of the more productive role players we have in the NBA. His main objective on this team is to just shoot threes and he’s been doing a really solid job over the past 10 games, averaging 38.7% of makes. He just had a 3-game streak of 2+ made threes end in the loss at Oklahoma City, so he will want to make amends in tonight’s game. Before the game against the Thunder, he had a run of at least 2 made threes in 12 of 13 games which is a really solid sample size. Against the Suns, he’s cleared this line 8 times over the last 12 meetings, and with the entire Phoenix defense focusing on how to contain Fox, I think Huerter can go under the radar a bit here and drain a couple from downtown.
Bradley Beal over 1.5 made threes (-136)
Bradley Beal ruined our Same Game Parlay last Tuesday as he failed to reach 4 assists in the Bucks vs Suns game. It’s time for him to make amends here with his three-point shooting. That aspect of his game has been very consistent over the last 10 outings, with him knocking down 32.3% of his shots. He’s scored at least 2 threes in 3 of his last 4 games and in a high-paced game against the Sacramento Kings, he should get plenty of opportunities to add to that solid run. Defending the perimeter is the one thing the Kings simply cannot do this season — they’re dead last in the NBA in opponent three-point percentage, allowing almost 40% of shots to go in on a nightly basis. That number is up to 46% over their last 3 games, so I expect Beal and company to take advantage of that here.
