Prop Bets: Sacramento Kings VS Phoenix Suns 2025-10-22
Phoenix Suns vs. Sacramento Kings: A Tale of Two Teams (and a Few Missing Stars)
The Phoenix Suns, now sans Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal, are favored by 4 points (-110) to open the season against the Sacramento Kings, who are missing De’Aaron Fox, Domantas Sabonis, and a rotating cast of injured stars. It’s like a Hollywood reboot where the lead actors didn’t show up—but at least the Kings have more actors to fill the void.
Key Stats & Props to Watch:
- Devin Booker (-110, 7.5 assists): The Suns’ star will likely run the show in Fox’s absence. Can he dish out 8 dimes or more? The line suggests skepticism, but Booker’s career average of 5.8 assists per game makes this a “reach” for DraftKings (literally).
- Malik Monk (Over 14.5 points): The Kings’ scoring spark plug at -125, Monk’s 14.5-point prop is a toss-up. Will he hit his 3s or sulk like a rookie? The odds say “meh.”
- Total Points (229.5, Even Money): With both teams’ benches resembling a AAU all-star game, the total is a coin flip. The Suns’ “defense” (ranked 28th last season) might as well be a open mic night for opponents.
Implied Probabilities:
- Suns to win outright: ~52.4% (based on -110 line).
- Over 229.5 points: 50%. Because why not? It’s the 21st century, and everyone’s scoring.
Prediction:
The Suns should win, but not by much. Booker will drop 25+ points and 8 assists while the Kings’ “young guns” (read: Zach LaVine and Zach Klevert) keep it close. Final Score: Suns 112, Kings 108. And yes, the Kings’ bench will outscore Phoenix’s, but only because the Suns’ bench is currently in a cast.
Prop Pick: Over 229.5 points. Because when two teams field C- rosters, chaos ensues.
Final Joke: If the Kings win, tell Fox and Sabonis they’re welcome to a free season-ticket package… and a therapist.
