Best Kings-Suns NBA Player Prop | Domantas Sabonis
Domantas Sabonis Prop O/U 0.5 3-Pointers
Once a much higher-volume shooter, Domantas Sabonis has become more of a facilitator over time. He has averaged only 1.2 attempts from beyond the arc per game this year, a considerable step back from his average last season (2) and the year before (2.6). However, Sabonis has improved his efficiency by converting 35.4% of his attempts from long range.
For whatever reason, Sabonis likes to shoot 3-pointers when lined up against Phoenix’s center, Deandre Ayton. Sabonis has made at least one 3-pointer in each of their last four meetings, a streak that dates back to early 2021, when Sabonis still played for the Pacers. More importantly, Sabonis has attempted more than one 3-pointer in all but one of his last five games against Ayton.

The newly shorthanded Suns may struggle early as they adjust to life without Cameron Johnson and Mikal Bridges. Both players are respectable, switchable defenders who can protect the perimeter well, and it won’t be easy for the Suns to replace their contributions. That could lead to a few extra chances for Sabonis to sink home a triple as Ayton, a negative defender this year, won’t have as much help.
DraftKings Sportsbook opened the over at +170, which gives this play implied odds of 37%. Although Sabonis has made a 3-pointer in only 18 of his 54 appearances (33.3%), the fact he has done so in his last four games against Ayton makes that number feel a bit high. Sabonis shot 1-for-2 from beyond the arc in his last game against Phoenix. New s at DraftKings can get $150 in bonus bets by winning a $5 moneyline wager!
