The Minnesota Timberwolves will host the Sacramento Kings tonight. Minnesota, fresh off an 11-point home win over the Memphis Grizzlies, will look to parlay that momentum into another win over a Western Conference opponent. Bettors looking to score some value on Saturday night’s basketball action should tail this Kings-Timberwolves NBA player prop at FanDuel — the book has left too much value on the De’Aaron Fox player prop markets.

Best Kings-Timberwolves NBA Player Prop | De’Aaron Fox
De’Aaron Fox Prop O/U 1.5 3-Pointers
The Sacramento Kings are loaded with solid perimeter shooters. Kevin Huerter, also known as Red Velvet, owns a silky stroke and leads the team in 3-pointers made. Rookie Keegan Murray ranks second in 3-pointers made per game on a team-best 42.5% shooting from deep. Harrison Barnes and Malik Monk have both contributed from deep as well. But even point guard De’Aaron Fox, more known for his speed than his shooting, has still averaged 1.6 3-pointers per game in this offense.
Fox benefits from a soft matchup tonight. The Timberwolves, who are coming off no rest, have struggled to defend opposing point guards on the perimeter. They have allowed the third-most made 3s to the position per game this year (3.2) and the second-most through the last seven games (4). Their struggles stem from poor defense at the top of the key — the Wolves rank fourth-worst in above-the-break 3s allowed per game (10) on the second-highest shooting percentage (37.5%).

Minnesota’s weaknesses line up perfectly for Fox. He spends 100% of his minutes at point guard and averages 4.1 attempts from above the break per game. Fox lit up Minnesota’s poor perimeter defense last season by averaging 2.7 made 3s against them and beating this number in all three of their matchups. Fox has also lit up defenses with struggles similar to Minnesota’s this year, namely the Houston Rockets and Memphis Grizzlies, against whom he is averaging 2.5 3-pointers so far.
While most books haven’t opened the player prop markets for tonight’s Kings-Timberwolves game, as the Wolves are yet to release their injury report following last night’s contest, FanDuel Sportsbook has posted too low of an opener for Fox’s 3-point props. Bettors can get this number well into the plus money. I recommend splitting a full unit between his standard and teased-up props to maximize profit.
