Prop #1: Evan Mobley to record a double-double
Finding consistency has been difficult for the Cleveland Cavaliers, which is why they’re just 25-20.
But they’ve won eight of their last 12 games, and surprise, surprise, that’s exactly when Evan Mobley returned to the starting lineup.
Mobley is averaging 16.3 points and 7.8 rebounds during that period, and I’m betting he has a productive night against the Sacramento Kings.
The Sacramento Kings rank dead last in rebounding rate and allow the fourth-most points in the paint per game.
Mobley has two double-doubles in his last four games, and tonight looks like a perfect opportunity for him to get another.

Prop #2: Cam Spencer Over 2.5 threes
The Memphis Grizzlies are a mess right now, and I’m not just talking about the Ja Morant drama.
The Grizz have six guys sidelined for tonight’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans, including Morant, and have lost eight of their last 11 games.
But somebody is going to have to put up some shots for Memphis, and I’m looking at shooting guard Cam Spencer.
The deadeye 3-point shooter is hitting a ridiculous 45.8% from deep, while the Pelicans allow the second-most threes per game.
At this price, I love Spencer to drain a bunch of treys.

Prop #3: Jalen Pickett Over 4.5 rebounds
The Denver Nuggets have had to get creative with their rotations thanks to all the injuries they’ve dealt with.
For instance, 26-year-old guard Jalen Pickett has now made eight starts in a row. And he’s made the most of it, averaging 8.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game.
Let’s focus on his work on the boards because the Milwaukee Bucks rank next-to-last in rebounding rate despite having one of the best rebounders in the NBA.
Pickett has hauled down five or more boards in seven of those eight starts, and we’re still getting plus money on this bet.
