Best Mavericks-Kings NBA Player Prop | De’Aaron Fox
De’Aaron Fox Prop O/U 6.5 Assists
De’Aaron Fox got unlucky last night. He dished out 12 potential assists, but his teammates struggled to convert, and he ended the game with only five actual assists. Fortunately, that is keeping this number relatively low heading into the rematch. If Fox’s previous performances without rest are any indication, bettors should expect big things from him tonight — the point guard has averaged eight assists per game when playing on the wrong end of a back-to-back set.
Fox has played seven games without rest for the Sacramento Kings this season. He beat this prop total in four of those contests and racked up double-digit assists three times. The Kings play effective offense when playing without rest — they are 5-3 to the over in those games. Their opponents, the Dallas Mavericks, are a whopping 7-2 to the over when playing without rest. Bettors shouldn’t expect much defense but should expect plenty of points.
The Mavericks make for a sharp target when betting on opposing point guards — at least recently. Although they have allowed the ninth-fewest assists per game to the position (8), they have allowed the second-most over the last seven games (10.8) and the eighth-most over the last 15 (9). Mike Conley racked up 22 across two meetings with the Mavericks through that stretch. Trae Young dished out 12 in mid-January.
Bettors looking to back Fox should head to FanDuel Sportsbook for the best deal on the market. No other book has this player prop set to anything below -120. That’s also where Pinnacle, a sharp book, has set the line. Bettors should split three-quarters of a unit between the standard prop line and a teased-up total.
