Devin Carter (Sacramento Kings) Under 17.5 Points (-114)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As we gear up for the showdown between the Warriors and Kings, all eyes should be on Devin Carter's scoring output. While he's shown flashes of brilliance this season, recent trends suggest he's likely to fall short of 17.5 points. Over his last five games, he's averaged just 13 points, and against the Kings, that number dips to a mere 2 points in their last encounter. Playing away, Carter's numbers drop even further; he's only managed 6.7 points on average in those matchups. His overall hit rate has been impressive, yet in this specific context, the data tells a different story-he's hit the under in 11 of his last 15 games and an astonishing 17 of his last 20 away. With the Warriors' defensive prowess at home, it seems wise to bet on Carter's struggles to surpass that 17.5 mark.

Devin Carter (Sacramento Kings) Under 5.5 Assists (-147)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Sacramento Kings gear up to face the Golden State Warriors, Devin Carter's assist total presents a tantalizing opportunity for savvy bettors. Despite the hype, Carter has struggled to find his rhythm against this Warriors squad, averaging just 0.6 assists in their last five matchups and a mere 1.3 assists on the road. In fact, his recent form supports this trend, with an average of 3.2 assists away from home over the last five games. With the Warriors' defense tightening and an implied probability of 59.5% favoring the under, the smart play is to target Carter's assists line at under 5.5. His overall hit rate is impressive, but given the matchup, it seems more likely that he'll fall short rather than exceed this mark. In this matchup, less might just be more for Carter's assist totals.

Nique Clifford (Sacramento Kings) Under 20.5 Points + Assists (-102)

As Nique Clifford steps onto the court against the Golden State Warriors, expectations might be high, but a closer look suggests we should lean toward the under on his points and assists combined. In his last five outings, he's averaged just 14 points and 4.2 assists-a solid performance, yet not enough to clear the 20.5 mark, especially when facing a fierce Warriors team. Historically, Clifford has struggled against Golden State, posting an average of just 9 points and 2 assists in their recent matchups. Even more telling, his away stats dip further, with averages of only 13.2 points and 3.6 assists. With a recent hit rate of 15 out of 20 for the under, and a perfect 4-for-4 on the road, it feels like a smart play to expect him to stay below that 20.5 threshold once again.
