Zion Williamson, DeMar DeRozan, and 3 Other Underdog Props for Kings vs. Pelicans

In this story:
The final game of this Friday’s NBA slate will be between the Sacramento Kings and the New Orleans Pelicans. Here are five of the best player props on Underdog Fantasy for the matchup.
Zion Williamson Over 21.5 Points

Zion Williamson should put up a dominant scoring performance on Friday against the Kings. Sacramento is allowing the third most points per game in the NBA this season, 121.4. One of the Kings’ main weaknesses in their defense is n the paint, and the main area where Williamson is a scoring threat from is in the paint. That should result in Williamson covering the over on his 21.5 point prop line with ease. In his last game against Sacramento this season, he scored 23 points.
Maxime Raynaud Over 8.5 Rebounds

This looks to be possibly the best prop available in the game between the Kings and Pelicans on Friday. Center for Sacramento, Maxime Raynaud, has had a great rookie season. He has struggled to cover the over on his 8.5 rebounding prop line for Friday of late, having nine or more boards just one time in his last five games. Despite this, he should be able to generate enough rebounds to cover the over in his line with his opponent being the Pelicans.
New Orleans this season is allowing the sixth most rebounds per game in the NBA, 54.8. In their last three games, they have given up 59.7 RPG. Also, Raynaud has covered the over on this line in one out of two games against New Orleans this season. In the game, he covered the over he was dominant on the glass, logging 19 rebounds.
DeMar DeRozan Over 19.5 Points

Veteran forward for the Kings, DeMar DeRozan, should be in line to continue his streak of scoring 20 or more points on Friday night. DeRozan, in his last three games, has scored over 20 points.
The Pelicans this season are one of the worst defenses in the NBA, just like the Kings. They are allowing 119.5 PPG, ranking as the sixth-highest average in the NBA. In their last three games, they have been even worse defensively, giving up 123.7 PPG.
Jeremiah Fears Under 4.5 Assists

With the amount of points the Kings are giving up per game, they have given up a hefty amount of assists per game. On the season, they are allowing the fifth most assists per game in the league, 28.0. Guard for the Pelicans, Jeremiah Fears, despite this, should hit the under on his 4.5 assists prop line for Friday.
Fears in his last 10 games has had five or more assists just three times. In two outings against the Kings, he has covered the over on the following line one time.
Herb Jones Under 1.5 Steals

Herb Jones' superb wing defense will likely not result in enough steals to cover the over on his 1.5 steals line on Friday. The Kings this season, despite their struggles, are averaging the 11th fewest turnovers per game in the NBA, 13.9. Also, in two games against the Kings this season, Jones had fewer than two steals both times.
