LOSS
Kings vs. Mavericks: DeRozan Scoring Floor
DeMar DeRozan Over 15.5 Points
ANALYSIS
We are backing DeMar DeRozan to clear this line as he is the sole remaining primary scorer for a Kings roster missing five of its top six producers, including season-ending injuries to Sabonis and LaVine. With Keegan Murray and Russell Westbrook also ruled out today, DeRozan’s usage is projected to spike significantly above his 18.6 PPG season average to keep pace with a similarly short-handed Dallas team.
OUTCOME
Sacramento Kings 130 - Dallas Mavericks 121
