ZT details his best player prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook for Sunday night’s game between the Timberwolves and the Kings.
The final game on Sunday night’s NBA scoreboard features a pair of Western Conference teams clashing in Sacramento at the Golden 1 Center. The 5-4 Minnesota Timberwolves take on the 3-6 Sacramento Kings in what should be a fun nightcap. Let’s dive into the matchup and find some fun player prop bets to play.
The Kings are coming off a big home loss to the Thunder on Friday and have dropped five of their last seven. On the other side, the Timberwolves have won three of their four after crushing the Jazz by 40 points on Friday in an NBA Cup matchup.
On the injury report, the main uncertainty is Domantas Sabonis (ribs), who is questionable after missing two games. Terrence Shannon Jr. (foot) was ruled out for the Timberwolves, which will change their second unit.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, Minnesota is a road favorite by 5.5 points, with the game total set at 237.5 points. In addition to the main game line, DraftKings Sportsbook has a host of player prop bets for Sunday night’s matchup. In this post, I’ll take a look at a few of my favorites. Let’s dive in.
Best Timberwolves vs. Kings Player Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Julius Randle 36+ Points + Assists + Rebounds (-106)
The Timberwolves in general are in a good spot to go over their typical averages since the Kings have allowed the third-most points per game and the second-highest field goal percentage. They’ve allowed 125+ points in four of their last five games, so the Timberwolves should be able to put up plenty of points on the road Sunday night.
Randle has been very good in the early going, producing 25.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 6.3 assists for 39.3 PRA in his nine games this season. Randle had 41 PRA with a triple-double of 19 points, 12 assists, and 10 rebounds on Friday, and he also had a matching 41 PRA with 32 points, four assists, and five rebounds against the Knicks on Wednesday.
Anthony Edwards was back for both of those games, and Randle also helped carry the load with 40, 41, and 44 PRA in his previous three games.
He has been over this prop line in five straight games, and a matchup with the Kings should boost him to go over this line once again. At almost even-money, this prop is a great way to back Randle to continue his hot start. If you want to be even more aggressive, Randle to get to 40 PRA is +178, and if you want to really swing for the fences, Randle to get 45 PRA is +404.
Malik Monk over 1.5 3PM (-143)
Monk missed a couple of games for personal reasons but has produced good numbers in the seven games he has played. He’s played 25 minutes per game off the bench and knocked down 18 3-point shots at an impressive 52.9% clip.
Monk has made multiple three-pointers in five of his seven games, including each of his two games since returning from his absence.
He returned on Wednesday with two threes and 21 points in a win over the depleted Warriors, and he knocked down three triples in the loss to the Thunder on Friday.
If the Kings are going to keep up with Minnesota, they’ll need Monk to post a big game off the bench, and I like his player props to knock in at least two three-point attempts.
While I like the over on Monk’s three-point props, I highlighted the under on a different one of the Kings’ 3-point props in my top 3-point prop bets of the day.
Jaden McDaniels 20+ Points + Rebounds (-123)
McDaniels helped carry the load while Edwards was out and has continued to post good numbers in the two games since Edwards returned. He’s averaging 18.3 points and 4.4 rebounds per game on the season, and he has gone over 20 points and boards in four of his last six contests.
On Friday in the rout of the Jazz, he poured in 22 points and seven boards to go comfortably over this total. He has 20+ points alone in four of his last six games, so getting rebounds in this combo makes it even more likely to hit in this favorable matchup against the Kings.
You can attack the McDaniels points and rebounds ladder if you want to get more aggressive too, with 25+ at +256 and 30+ at +740 if you really think he’ll dominate the matchup.
