Maxime Raynaud is averaging just 7.3 rebounds per game this season, so the line looks a bit ambitious tonight. The rookie has recorded Under 10.5 boards in four of his last five games.

The Brooklyn Nets have dropped six straight and now face the Sacramento Kings without their leading scorer, Michael Porter. The Kings have won and covered in five of the last six meetings between these teams, and I’ll roll with the Kings to cover.

Jayson Tatum just made his return from a 10-month rehab, and unsurprisingly, hasn't looked great so far. Tatum is shooting 29% from three - well below his career average of 37% - and has made Under 2.5 threes in three of his last four games.

The Toronto Raptors have won three of their last four games and are getting strong scoring production from Brandon Ingram. The Phoenix Suns enter on a four-game losing streak and continue to deal with injuries. Look for the Raps to sweep the season series.
