Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 1: Golden State Warriors ML
Partaking in the moneyline as opposed to the spread is the safer play here when taking into account that three of the four games played between Golden State and Sacramento this season were separated by a singular point. Now it's hard to imagine that scenario playing out for a fourth time, but did anyone see that coming for a second or third?
The Warriors surely have the psychological edge, taking the best-of-seven series in 2023 with a Game 7 victory on the road in the Kings' backyard. They also have a championship pedigree Sacramento couldn't possibly comprehend, as playing under the bright lights with the pressure of do-or-die consequences is something Golden State has become all too familiar with throughout their dynastic run.
If the end result is ultimately dictated by the side with more forward momentum, then the Warriors have that in spades winning 10 of their final 12 games. Sacramento enters losers of five of its last seven games, including two of three at home.
Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 2: De'Aaron Fox OVER 29.5 Points
Picking Golden State to win outright doesn't necessarily mean that will come at the expense of another huge scoring performance from De'Aaron Fox, who had quite a few of those this season when going toe-to-toe with the Warriors.
Fox averaged 32.3 points and shot 50 percent from the field and 41.7 percent from 3-point range across three games against Golden State, adding 4.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.7 steals in 38.4 minutes of action.
Oddsmakers have his player prop at a monster 29.5 points due to Fox never scoring fewer than 29 points this season versus the Warriors. He finished with exactly 29 points twice, which would fail to reach the OVER here. In order for Sacramento to remain competitive, a lot will be riding on Fox's shoulders to muster up another offensive outburst to prevent the Kings' offseason from starting prematurely.
Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 3: Draymond Green UNDER 7.5 Rebounds
Golden State was the best rebounding team in basketball at 46.7 per game, but no one player on the roster averaged double-digit boards. Draymond Green led all players with just 7.2, and he'll need to be a factor on the glass out of pure necessity going up against the double-double machine that is Domantas Sabonis, who recorded 77 in total becoming the first player to hit that mark since 1977-78.
Green's assist numbers were far more reliable than his rebounding against the Kings, averaging just four boards to 7.7 dimes in three games. Despite being the Warriors' leading rebounder overall, five of his teammates contributed more boards per game against Sacramento than the 34-year-old veteran did.
He finished with four or fewer rebounds twice versus the Kings and maxed out at six on Nov. 28. Green can make us eat our words once the final buzzer sounds, but history suggests grabbing eight or more will be a tall task on this night.
