In his first full season as a Sacramento Kings player, Domantas Sabonis has grown into his role as a playmaker. At Caesars Sportsbook, Sabonis is a +102 to clear 5.5 assists when he faces the Celtics.
On the season, Sabonis is averaging 16.9 points, 11.2 rebounds, and 6.2 assists on 57.7% shooting from the field. It's a wonder why he's a +102 to clear 5.5 assists, as he's averaging 13.0 points, 13.0 rebounds, and 7.3 assists over his last three games.
The Boston Celtics have great perimeter defenders who will key in on the Kings' guard. Clearing 5.5 shouldn't be an issue for Sabonis.
The Brooklyn Nets will be facing off with the Indiana Pacers and Ben Simmons' recent positive run of form will be under the microscope. At DraftKings, Ben Simmons is a -115 to clear 11.5 points when he faces the Pacers.
To say Ben Simmons got off to a rough start would be an understatement. He's averaging 8.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 6.1 assists on 60.9% shooting from the field. But over his last five games, Simmons is averaging 14.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 6.4 assists on 78.6% shooting from the field.
Simmons' newfound aggression on offense is a boon to the Brooklyn Nets' chances. Expect Simmons to clear 11.5 points with ease given his renewed role on the court.
