The Kings are -6-point road underdogs with a total of 236 so we should be able to avoid a blowout in a higher scoring affair.<\/p>\n\n\n Jalen Johnson has cleared this line in 3 of his first 5 games of the season while averaging 8.8 assists per game in the early season. That run includes an 11-assist effort across 36 minutes in his most recent game against the Miami Heat and a staggering 16-assist effort a few games back across 38 minutes against a stout Houston Rockets defense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Johnson also averaged 7.9 assists per game during his 2025-26 All-Star campaign. The Cleveland Cavaliers rank below average in defensive rating and they have allowed the 10th most points with an average of 117+ points per game. Kyshawn George just recorded 11 assists against Cleveland from the small forward position in the Cavs most recent game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Atlanta Hawks rank 4th in pace of play and they have gone over the respective total in 4 of the first 5 games of the season. The Hawks are playing the second leg of a back-to-back, but Johnson cleared this line in his first game with zero rest this season and in 7\/9 games during the 2025-26 campaign. We have a near pick’em spread with a total of 238 so we should avoid a blowout in a higher scoring game.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDomantas Sabonis Player\u00a0Prop\u00a0Pick: <\/em>OVER 21.5 Rebounds + Assists (-103)<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> vs New Orleans Pelicans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
