Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

DeMar DeRozan has been a rebounding machine lately, and with the Kings hosting the Jazz, he's poised for another standout performance on the boards. Over his last five games, he's averaged 4.4 rebounds, consistently exceeding the modest 2.5 mark we're targeting. At home, his numbers dip slightly but still reflect a solid average of 3.4 rebounds. What's particularly telling is his history against the Jazz; he's snagged 4.4 boards in their recent encounters. With a home hit rate of 75% over the last 20 games, it's clear he thrives in Sacramento. The Kings will likely rely on DeRozan to secure those defensive possessions, especially against a Jazz team that can be unpredictable. With an expected stat value of 4.16 and hitting the over in all five of his last games, betting on DeRozan to pull down more than 2.5 rebounds feels like a smart play.

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Utah Jazz prepare to face the Sacramento Kings, all eyes should be on Brice Sensabaugh's assist numbers, particularly with the line set at 2.5. Historically, Sensabaugh has struggled to dish out assists against the Kings, averaging just 1.2 assists in their last five matchups. Even when playing away, where he's slightly better at 2.5 assists, those numbers can be deceiving given the context of this game.In his last nine outings, he's only exceeded this mark in one game, and with a hit rate of 3 for 3 on the road, it seems he thrives more on scoring than playmaking. The Kings' defense is known for stifling opposing guards, making it tough for Sensabaugh to find open teammates. With his average of 1.8 assists in recent games, we can confidently lean toward the Under on this prop.

As the Kings prepare to face the Jazz, all eyes should be on DeMar DeRozan to exceed 7.5 combined rebounds and assists. Playing at home, he's found a rhythm, averaging nearly 6 assists in his last five games in Sacramento.

Plus, let's not forget his recent success; DeRozan has cleared this line in three of his last four games. With an expected stat value nudging close to 9, it feels like a smart play to back him in this matchup. Expect him to capitalize on the Jazz's defensive lapses and deliver a standout performance.
