NBA Play-In Props: Domantas Sabonis Over 14.5 Rebounds at +108

Domantas Sabonis put in a big game on Tuesday, scoring 16 points and 12 rebounds to help the Sacramento Kings defeat the Golden State Warriors.

He has been a beast on the glass, managing to keep his massive double-double streak going in the postseason. Despite some lesser rebounding performances against the Pelicans, Sabonis finished with 10, 9, 13, 10, and 10 rebounds in his last few games against New Orleans.

Domantas Sabonis should be able to cross the 14-over mark when posed against a smaller Pelicans front line without Zion Williamson.

NBA Play-In Props: De'Aaron Fox Under 5.5 Assists at +120

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox is one of the league's best passers, averaging 6.1 points per game during the regular season. 

However, Fox has only crossed above eight assists twice in the King's last ten games. 

When he was matched up against the Pelicans, he only had one game, in which he had more than six assists in five matchups. 

De"Aaron Fox is likely to go under this prop.

NBA Play-In Props: Brandon Ingram Under 20.5 Points at -125  

Considering Brandon Ingram's previous matchups against the Kings, it should be an easy over given how he has averaged 24.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.2 assists in 5 games.

However, Ingram is still recovering from an injury that kept him out for most of March. It's hard to imagine a scenario where he has a big-time scoring performance against the Kings. 

Ingram struggled to find his shot, scoring only 11 and 13 points against the Lakers in his last two games.

Pelicans' defensive swingman Herbert Jones would likely take on the De'Aaron Fox assignment, as he did for much of the regular season.

Jones has managed to steal the ball twice in three of his last five games and could look to continue this trend further against Sacramento.
