Lauri Markkanen (back), Jordan Clarkson (finger) and Collin Sexton (hamstring) have all been ruled out for this tonight’s game.
The Kings Court

Three-point shooting proved to be the difference as the Kings shot 22-37 for 59.5% from beyond the arc while the Wizards shot only 13-36 for 36.1%.

Utah Jazz vs Sacramento Kings Expert Player Prop Prediction
The Sacramento Kings are 6.5 point road favorites with a huge total set at 238.5. This game should be a shootout as the #1 & #6 scoring offenses face the 24th & 25th ranked defenses.
The Kings are basically full strength while the Jazz will be missing three starters which opens the door for player prop overs on Utahs side.
Kelly Olynyk in particular will get extra rebounding opportunities without Markkanen on the floor and extra assist chances will be there in a fast paced game with both starting guards out.
Olynyk has a Rebounds + Assists line of 10.5 that he has cleared in 4 of his last 6 games with 19, 12, 6, 12, 10 & 15 RA. He has crushed this line in the last three games without Markkanen on the court with 15, 20 & 12 RA.
Olynyk had 10 RA in his last game against Sacramento in game where Markkanen record 9 RA and the starting point guard Mike Conley had 8 RA. With his team short-handed in a fast paced game, Olynyk will get every opportunity to crush this line.
Player Prop Prediction: Kelly Olynyk OVER 10.5 Rebounds + Assists -105 Draftkings
