No, it did not. Still, the Raptors have played well enough lately to earn more respect than I showed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the Kings, meanwhile, hardly deserve any respect at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Over their past 15 games, the Raptors are 9-6 with a +2.8 net rating (ninth in the NBA).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In the same span, the Kings are 5-10 with a -8.7 net rating (29th in the NBA).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\">Don&#8217;t miss out \u2014 bet on Raptors vs. Kings now<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sacramento played at Golden State less than two weeks ago and lost by 35. Most recently, the Kings have lost back-to-back home games against the Trail Blazers and Heat by a combined 20 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Kings are now 8-12-0 ATS as home underdogs, per Team Rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"product_only\"><a href=\"cacheembed:122904\">Embed: #122904<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NBA SGP picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Shead under 1.5 threes<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> <strong><strong><strong><strong>(<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>-148):<\/strong> Shead doesn&#8217;t shoot a ton of 3s, and his efficiency has been worse than usual lately. I&#8217;m all over this under.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ex-Houston Cougars guard is shooting a paltry 32.7% from deep on 3.6 attempted 3s per game. That equates to an average of 1.2 makes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\">Bet on Jamal Shead and Malik Monk tonight in Sacramento!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fairness, his 3-point shot volume has ticked up recently &#8230; but he&#8217;s offsetting that with lesser efficiency, meaning this under is still largely reliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over his past 11 games, Shead is shooting 30.4% from beyond the arc (4.2 attempts\/game). This under is 6-5 in that span.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Kings allow the 10th-fewest made 3s (12.6\/game) on the eighth-lowest opponent 3PT% (34.9). So it&#8217;s not like this is a matchup that Shead is expected to exploit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kings prop prediction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Monk over 1.5 threes (-180):<\/strong> Unlike Shead, Monk&#8217;s 3PT% is excellent. He&#8217;s shown some high-volume shooting tendencies lately, too, which could make this a steal even at a super-juiced price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Monk shot 4-for-10 from deep last time out, which was notably his first game with 10+ attempted 3s on the season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He also put up nine 3-point attempts in two of four games before that.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The ninth-year vet is averaging 1.9 makes on a career-high 41.3% clip from beyond the arc.
