Perhaps the most intriguing NBA clash on Friday, February 2, will be played between inter-conference rivals, and here you can read the Kings vs Pacers Player Prop Bets. The Sacramento Kings travel to Indy hoping to get a fifth win in six games, while the Indiana Pacers are searching for the fourth straight home victory.
Kings vs Pacers Player Prop Bets – Domantas Sabonis Over 41.5 Points, Assists, and Rebounds (-125)
Domantas Sabonis is the Kings’ most important player even though De’Aaron Fox is the top scorer. Sabonis is doing it all, points, rebounds, assists, you name it. For the year, the Lithuanian monster averages 19.9 ppg, 13.0 rpg, and 8.0 apg, making him one of the most versatile players in the NBA.
Domantas already recorded 15 triple-doubles this season, one of which came against his former team – the Indiana Pacers. That game was played a couple of weeks ago when Sabonis posted 21 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists. I am looking for a similar scenario this time out, but I am not brave enough to back him to get another triple-double.
Sabonis combined for 42+ PTS, AST, and REB in five of the previous eight games. Interestingly, in only one of those five, he failed to get a triple-double, but he did grab 26 boards in that one. Maybe he’ll go 20+20 here, so I am not sure whether all three categories will hit double figures. The Pacers allow 22.6 ppg, 13.6 rpg, and 4.6 apg to the opposing centers.
Harrison Barnes Over 18.5 Points and Rebounds (-125)
For the second pick in the Kings vs Pacers Player Prop Bets, we have another King. Harrison Barnes’ numbers are declining this season. He is just the fifth-best scorer on the team with 11.8 ppg on average, even though he averages close to 30 minutes per contest. Barnes did turn the clock back lately, with three consecutive 20+ point displays against Atlanta, Golden State, and Dallas.
Barnes logged only 22 minutes in the latest H2H against Indiana and finished that game with a miserable two points on 1-of-2 shooting. I expect him to show a much better display this time out. The good thing for Barnes is that the Pacers have one of the worst defenses against small forwards. They allow 23.1 ppg and 8.0 rpg to SFs.
In general, Indiana has one of the weakest defenses in the NBA, so if Harrison opens up the game well, I am sure he’ll combine for 19+ points and rebounds. He managed to do it in three of the last five games.
