But a majority of that time was with a healthy lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sacramento just trounced the Charlotte Hornets, 130-88, and I believe it can build off that performance and easily handle another one of the NBA&#8217;s bottom feeders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong>LaVine over 22.5 points<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> (-165):<\/strong> The dynamic guard is coming off his best game as a King. On Feb. 24, he scored 42 points on 16-of-19 shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two games before that, he lit up the New Orleans Pelicans for 32 points. There&#8217;s obvious blowout potential here, but LaVine has been efficient enough to clear this modest mark in fewer minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He went under this total in his first four games with Sacramento but has scored 23-plus in three of four since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of that, the Jazz are a disaster on defence. They have the worst defensive rating in the NBA and allow the second-most points to shooting guards (23.9), per Fantasy Pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Collier 8+ assists<\/strong> (-200):<\/strong> This is a steep line for a rookie, but take a look at this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Collier is averaging 8.5 assists in 24 games as a starter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He leads all rookies by a wide margin in assists per game (6.0). Only one other rookie is even above 4.0 APG.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In February, Collier is 9-1 against this line, averaging 9.3 assists.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the Kings allow the sixth-most APG to point guards (9.2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With all the injuries for Utah, Collier should continue to play heavy minutes and have a high usage rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Picks made at 11:15 a.m. ET 02\/26\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Sacramento Kings visit a banged-up Utah Jazz team on Wednesday.
