Kings vs Knicks best bet: Karl-Anthony Towns Over 1.5 threes (+105)
Karl-Anthony Towns may be in the headlines amid the New York Knicks' struggles, but his shooting has improved of late.
The best shooting big man in NBA history has cleared this prop in 10 of his last 16 games, including four of his last five. Falling short on Saturday was a reflection of foul trouble, not shooting struggles. Towns has shot 38.5% from deep since December 23.
For him, that is a bit modest, but it's also worth noting he's shooting better on fewer looks — down to 4.1 threes per game. Towns is picking his moments.
Against the Sacramento Kings, a couple of early looks could mean KAT cashes this prop before halftime tonight.

Kings vs Knicks same-game parlay
This looks quite counterintuitive, but that is the point.
This same-game parlay pays out at a higher rate than it should simply because it is odd to pair Towns’ threes Over with his points Under. But Towns has hit multiple 3-pointers and still fallen short of this points prop six times in the last month.
