TOP PICK

LOSS
Kings vs. Magic
Paolo Banchero Under 24.5 Points
ANALYSIS
Despite Franz Wagner being ruled out, the massive -16.5 point spread reflects an eliminated Sacramento team missing nine players, including starters Sabonis and LaVine, who are out for the season. We expect Banchero’s volume to regress significantly due to a blowout script, as the Kings are coming off a 44-point loss to Charlotte and were defeated by Orlando by 37 points in their last meeting.
Key Data
Projected 20.8 points vs 24.5 line; blowout probability modeled at 44.2%.
OUTCOME
Sacramento Kings 117 - Orlando Magic 121
Paolo Banchero scored 30 points in the game on March 26, 2026. Since 30 points is greater than the prop line of 24.5, the Under selection is a loss.
