My +450 SGP includes a Kings moneyline pick, as well as prop bets on Malik Monk, Domantas Sabonis and Franz Wagner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out my Magic vs. Kings same-game parlay predictions for Feb. 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Magic vs. Kings predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"insights\"><strong>Go to full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/sports-hub\/basketball\/nba\">NBA betting markets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:108579\">Embed: #108579<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Parlay: Kings ML | Monk 6+ assists | Sabonis under 14.5 rebounds | Wagner 20+ points (+450)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kings moneyline (-210):<\/strong> I&#8217;m not in love with the Kings&#8217; long-term outlook after trading away Fox, but I do think they can kick a Magic squad that is utterly down and out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Orlando&#8217;s past 10 games have been a total disaster:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1-9 SU<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1-9 ATS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>0-7 on the road<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>-16.5 net rating (30th in the NBA)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>45.5 eFG% (30th in the NBA)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This six-game road swing cannot end soon enough for the Magic, who have to play again in Denver tomorrow night. Yikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sacramento just got back from its own six-game road trip, which concluded with an underdog victory in Minnesota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Kings have won seven straight home games, and they should be able to light the beam tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Monk 6+ assists (-235):<\/strong> Even when Fox was playing for the Kings, this was an attainable assist total for Monk. He&#8217;s averaging 5.9 assists this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that Fox is gone, Monk should assume an even greater role as a facilitator. He&#8217;s already cashing this bet on nearly a nightly basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>6+ assists in 15\/17 games since Dec. 28<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>7.5 APG since Dec. 28<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the calendar flipped to 2025, Monk has led the Kings in potential assists per game (12.2), which accounts for all passes that lead directly to a shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If he keeps that up, only half of those potential assists have to convert for this to hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Sabonis under 14.5 rebounds<\/strong> (-108):<\/strong> Sabonis is a beast on the glass, I can&#8217;t deny that. And he&#8217;ll probably secure his third consecutive rebounding title this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But when the matchup isn&#8217;t right, I&#8217;m still going to fade him at a line this high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Orlando allows the fewest rebounds per game to opposing centres (12.8), per Betting Pros. Part of that is because the team plays at the second-slowest pace in the NBA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the Magic also have the 10th-best rebounding rate (50.4%), so it&#8217;s not just about their slower style of play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sabonis averages 14.3 rebounds and has gone under this total in four of his past five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wagner 20+ points (-530):<\/strong> If a leg with this much juice is throwing you off, feel free to skip it. The SGP will come in priced at +325 sans-Franz, but I want Wagner involved to get this thing to +450.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because Wagner has 20-plus points in 15 straight games \u2014 and 26 of 31 on the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His shooting has been atrocious lately, and that hasn&#8217;t mattered. His floor is sky-high because the Magic rely on him to shoot a ton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wagner is shooting 27.8% from deep (on 7.2 attempts\/game) during this 15-game run of 20-point performances. Imagine what&#8217;ll happen if he turns that around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Picks made at 11:30 a.m. ET 02\/05\/2025<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Sacramento Kings, who are trying to figure out life without De&#8217;Aaron Fox, host a struggling Orlando Magic squad tonight at Golden 1 Center.
