Kings vs. Lakers: Public Bettors Split
Our NBA Public Betting Information page indicates that 51% of public bettors are currently backing the Lakers when it comes to the spread. This information is subject to change throughout the day, however, so be sure to check the link so you’re receiving the most up-to-date public betting data.
Sabonis Finishes with 18 Points
Domantas Sabonis dominated the glass on Monday and finished with 18 points (7-of-18 FGs), 19 rebounds, four assists and two steals against Chicago. Per usual, Sabonis recorded a double-double. This was his 43rd straight, which is the 19th-longest streak in NBA history. This is the longest streak since Kevin Love went 53 straight games with a double-double during the 2010-11 season.
Unfortunately, he was battling foul trouble throughout the game and ended up fouling out with about three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. They weren’t able to hang on and secure the win after Sabonis fouled out, but Sabonis still dominated in the box score. He’ll look to keep his double-double streak going against the Lakers on Wednesday.
Davis Probable to face Kings
Anthony Davis (bilateral Achilles tendinopathy) and Cam Reddish (right ankle sprain) are probable for Wednesday’s game against the Kings. Davis and Reddish are once again considered probable for a game and should ultimately be cleared. Davis has been one of the most productive players in fantasy basketball this season, providing top-10 per-game value in 8- and 9-cat formats. As for Reddish, his availability has a more significant impact on the Lakers’ rotation than fantasy basketball leagues.
