I hear Grady Dick has been in the news this week. My news is he doesn’t shoot very efficiently and doesn’t do much else. Limbo lower.
The Raptors are a dead under team at home and the Kings are not a huge wallop team on the road. This just seems like too big of an ask for the Raptors.

This is a huge RA line for Kelly Olynyk who averages 9.2 Reb + Ast on the season. This combo line is a result of the Raptors roster being completely depleted and Olynyk is basically the last rotational man standing, along with Gary Trent Jr. While it does make some sense that Olynyk should see an uptick in usage without RJ Barrett and without Immanuel Quickley, he was already a high usage player and the Raptors have capped his minutes at 28. Olynyk has only eclipsed 30 minutes twice since joining the team. There is some huge blowout potential here as well.

Murray is the second-best rebounder on the Kings and gets to face less athletic backups and G League players with the Raptors running on fumes. He grabbed 12 boards in their first meeting and that was when TOR still had Scottie Barnes and their starting center. Another double-double from Murray here would not surprise me at all and I also could see him going over this total scoring the ball alone. He has 10-plus rebounds in 2 of the last 3 games. Will get plenty of open looks to shoot the ball and Raptors allowing opponents 48 rebounds/G this month, worst in the NBA.

Sabonis loves to dish it and find the backdoor cutter and the Raptors are out of bodies and can't bang and the Kings will score plenty from close range - with Sabonis picking up assists. He averages 8.3/G on the road, he has 11 assists in the earlier meeting with Toronto, when the Raptors were still competitive. He had a triple double in that one and even if this gets out of hands and his minutes sag in the second half I am playing his triple double props in this game and I like the return on this assist total.
The bottom is falling out for Toronto, suffering 7 straight losses and increasing blowouts. They don't have the bodies to hold up in the second half and the Kings will score way more than can keep pace with. TOR has lost 4 of those 7 by 10+ points and another by 9. They are 2-8 ATS in the last 10 and have failed to cover those 8 games by an average of 9.5 points. Kings dropped 135 on a healthy Raptors team in January. TOR allowing 122/G during 7 game slump. SAC 4-1 ATS last 5 on road despite facing LAL, DEN (twice), MIN, LAC. This could be a 20+ blowout.
