Domantas Sabonis is featured as the top NBA prop pick for Tuesday’s four-game slate.
The pregame narrative: I like Sabonis to perform on the back-to-back and also have a play on Donte DiVincenzo.

Best Bet: Sabonis over 30.5 points/rebounds (-118)
Sabonis scored a season-low 16 points last night after exploding for 24-plus in each of the Sacramento Kings’ first two games.
He was an efficient 5-for-8 from the field and made a three for the third straight contest, a new wrinkle he looks to have added to his game.
The Kings centre also corralled a season-high 13 rebounds, falling just short of this line despite the low shot volume.
Sabonis had 32 points/rebounds in the season opener and followed it up with 41.
While Sabonis has been out on the perimeter more, he’s still primarily an interior scorer. He’s efficient in the paint and cleans up on the glass, creating putback opportunities that can help us in multiple ways with this market.
Tonight, he has a great matchup against the Utah Jazz.
The Jazz have been pounded in the paint through three games (all losses) while giving up an average of 121.0 points per contest. That ranks 27th in the NBA.
Last season, the Jazz were last in the NBA in defensive rating. The 28-year-old Sabonis averaged 30.8 points/rebounds in three matchups against them.
Key stat: Sabonis has averaged at least 31.0 points/rebounds in each of the last four seasons.
Quick pick
DiVincenzo over 2.5 threes (-112): The sharpshooter is 1-2 against this line through three games with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
But even in a reserve role, he’s averaging the same shot volume he did with the New York Knicks when he started 63 of 81 games during the 2023-24 campaign.
DiVincenzo averaged a career-best 3.5 threes per game last season and is hoisting over 8.0 attempts for the second straight year.
He topped this line in 64% of his games last season. And he drilled five-plus in both matchups versus tonight’s opponent, the Dallas Mavericks.
DiVincenzo was 4-of-11 from long range in his last game in a season-low 23 minutes.
