Kings vs. Pistons Prediction, Odds and Best NBA Prop Bets for Monday, April 7…….Read more

 

The Kings are just 3-12 against the spread on the second night of a back-to-back this season.

The Sacramento Kings pulled off a massive upset on Sunday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers, pushing them into the No. 9 spot in the Western Conference with just four games to play.

Sacramento now has a three-game cushion on the No. 11-seeded Phoenix Suns, putting it in the driver’s seat to at least land a play-in spot this season.

On Monday, the Kings have a tough second night of a back-to-back against the Detroit Pistons, who are seven-point favorites at home. With Cade Cunningham back, Detroit is looking to make a push for the No. 5 seed, although the Milwaukee Bucks have won four games in a row to take a one-game lead on the Pistons in the standings.

Detroit has listed two rotation players, Tobias Harris and Jalen Duren, as questionable for this contest.

Here’s how I’m betting on the Kings-Pistons matchup, including my favorite prop bet for Monday’s action.

Kings vs. Pistons Best NBA Prop Bets

Sacramento Kings Best NBA Prop Bet

• Zach LaVine OVER 20.5 Points (-120)

Zach LaVine had a monster game against Cleveland, dropping 37 points while hitting 7-of-11 shots from beyond the arc.

He’s now scored 62 points in his last two games, pushing his season average to 23.0 per game. While he hasn’t been as consistent scoring with the Kings, LaVine has still been ultra-efficient for the season, shooting 51.2 percent from the field and 43.9 percent from beyond the arc.

Detroit Pistons Best NBA Prop Bet

• Ausar Thompson OVER 19.5 Points and Rebounds (-105)

Earlier today, I shared in my NBA Best Bets column – Peter’s Points – why Ausar Thompson is a solid prop target in this matchup:

Detroit Pistons wing Ausar Thompson has been on fire as of late, averaging 15.3 points and 7.7 rebounds per game over his last six contests. The former lottery pick is an intriguing prop target against the Sacramento Kings, who are just 21st in the league in defensive rating over their last 10 contests.
