Get set for NBA non-conference action when the Brooklyn Nets welcome the Sacramento Kings to Barclays Center for a Monday night clash.
Brooklyn has lost nine of its previous 10, but my Kings vs. Nets predictions anticipate Brooklyn forward Noah Clowney to continue with his hot hand from downtown.
Read on as I explain my NBA picks for Monday, January 27.
Kings vs Nets prediction
My best bet
Noah Clowney Over 2.5 made threes (+110 at bet365)
My analysis
The Brooklyn Nets may be riding the struggle bus, but Nets forward Noah Clowney isn’t.
The second-year forward from Alabama has been lighting it up from downtown, and I don’t envision the Sacramento Kings preventing him from knocking down a trio of treys tonight.
That’s because the Kings are one of the worst stop units at defending the triple. They’ve 21st is attempts allowed (38.7) and rank 29th in made threes per night (14.6), which spikes to nearly 15 on the road.
That should allow Clowney enough opportunities to clear his 3-point prop. He’s averaging a pair of triples on nearly six attempts, but he’s seen an uptick in minutes and attempts and has knocked down at least three triples in two of his last five.
Clowney will get every opportunity to clear tonight's 3-point mark. He should see at least 30 minutes, and he’s playing a much faster-paced Kings group that doesn’t defend the perimeter well.
Kings vs Nets same-game parlay
Noah Clowney Over 2.5 made threes
Domantas Sabonis Over 6.5 assists
Over 221.5
The uptick in pace will allow Clowney to get his looks from downtown, but Kings center Domantas Sabonis will also flourish in the fast-paced environment, which should also send the game total Over the number.
Sabonis is one of the best passing bigs in the game. He’s dished 7+ dimes in seven of his last nine and is up against a Nets defense surrendering the 10th-most (27.5) per night.
The faster pace should send the final score Over the game total. The Kings' Over/Under mark is 8-2-0 to the Over across its last 10 because its defense is awful.
That poor Kings defense should allow the Nets to score enough behind Clowney’s triples to take this game Over the number.
