Bulls vs. Kings Best Prop Bet

Coby White OVER 3.5 Three-Pointers Made (+130) via FanDuel

I broke down this play in today's edition of "Best NBA Bets Today":

The Sacramento Kings are the worst team in the NBA at defending the three. They rank dead last in opponent three-point field goal percentage, allowing teams to shoot 38.3% from beyond the arc, a full 1.0% worse than any other team.

With that in mind, I'm going to back Coby White to record at least four three-pointers at +128 odds. He's their main three-point shooter, recording 7+ attempts from beyond the arc in four straight games.

If you want to be more conservative, you can bet him to go OVER 2.5 at DraftKings at -154, but I'm going to be aggressive with this play and take OVER 3.5 at FanDuel at +130.

Bulls vs. Kings Prediction and Pick

Chicago gets 39.9% of its points from its three-point shooting, the fourth highest mark in the NBA. Now, as I wrote above, they got to face the worst perimeter defense in basketball. The Kings let teams shooting 38.3% from beyond the arc, 1.0% worse than any other defense in the league.

A lot of the Kings' success comes from creating extra scoring chances, including grabbing offensive rebounds at a high rate. Unfortunately for them, they take on a Chicago team that's sixth in defensive rebounding (76.4%).

The Bulls have a bit of an advantage in the stylistic matchup in this game, so I'll take the points with the underdogs.
