Warriors vs. Kings same-game parlay picks
Parlay: Kings +7.5 + Curry over 26.5 points + Sabonis over 12.5 rebounds (+245)
Kings +7.5 (-275): The Warriors were 11-30 on the road this season with a -4.2 net rating in those games. They also lost the series opener to the Kings by 126-123 after being outscored by nine points in the second half and seven in the third quarter.
This isn’t last year’s Golden State and we’re more than happy to back Sacramento as healthy home dogs on this alternate line.
The Kings were 23-18 at home this season and only lost eight of those games by eight-plus points (19.5%). It’s worth noting one of those games was to Golden State but Sacramento rested Sabonis, De’Aaron Fox, Kevin Huerter and Malik Monk in that game.
Other parlay legs
Curry over 26.5 points (-235): Curry averaged 29.4 points this season and had 30 points in this series opener. We’re expecting him to have another strong performance, even if it doesn’t lead to a blowout victory.
This is a line Curry eclipsed in 35 of 56 games this season (62.5%). He also cleared this in four of his five appearances against the Kings (playoffs included) and averaged 32.4 PPG in those games.
Sacramento allowed the 10th-most points to opposing point guards, according to Fantasy Pros, and the fifth-most PPG (118.1).
Sabonis over 12.5 rebounds (-175): Sabonis led the league in rebounds and rebounds per game this season (12.3) and cruised past this line in Game 1, grabbing 16 boards.
He also breezed by this mark in all three of his regular-season games against Golden State, with 14, 14 and 22 rebounds.
That shouldn’t be a surprise, though, considering the Warriors allow the ninth-most rebounds per game to centres (15.28).
