Russell Westbrook Under 1.5 Made Threes (+100)

We had a perfect night on Tuesday. Let's do it again.

While it's a little scary to take any under in a Los Angeles Lakers-Sacramento Kings game that has a 245.0-point total and 3.0-point spread, this bet checks out.

The Kings' overall defensive numbers are bad, but they're good at limiting three-point tries. For the season, they are giving up a three-point attempt rate of 35.3%, the second-lowest. The point guard position is taking just 7.3 three-point shots per night -- the third-fewest -- versus the Kings.

Russell Westbrook doesn't take many shots from deep, hoisting five or fewer three-pointers in 8 of his previous 10 games. He's making only 29.1% of his threes on the season.

Our model projects Russ to go 1.0 of 3.5 from beyond the arc. With the +100 price on the under, this is a great prop to prioritize.

Terry Rozier Over 2.5 Made Threes (-130)

The Houston Rockets sit on the opposite end of the three-point defense spectrum.

Houston has permitted a three-point attempt rate of 44.5%, the highest in the league. Shooting guards are taking an average of 10.9 threes per game against the Rockets, which is another league-high mark.

That has me on the over on Terry Rozier's made threes prop.

Rozier isn't shy about letting it fly from three. He's fired off at least seven three-pointers in six of his past seven games.

With two teams in the bottom four in defensive rating, this game should feature plenty of offense, and Rozier can get cooking from three. We project him to take 10.0 trifectas and make 3.6 of them.

Domantas Sabonis to Record a Triple-Double (+200)

Domantas Sabonis is having a career-best season in his first full year with the Kings. His offensive rating is at 134, which is the best mark of his career -- by some distance, too.

One of the big changes to Sabonis' game is how much he's being used as a facilitator, and it's resulted in him averaging 7.1 assists per night. He's registered four triple-doubles this season, one of which came against the Lakers.

I think he can do it again tonight, and I like his chances better than what this +200 number implies.

Assists will likely be the toughest hurdle to clear as we project Sabonis for 20.3 points, 13.3 boards and 8.2 dimes. The matchup helps in that department as the Lakers are allowing a league-high 4.5 assists per game to centers.

The game environment boosts Sabonis' chances, too, with a 245.0-point total and both squads sitting in the top five in pace.

This one is worth a roll of the dice at this +200 price.
