Russ Westbrook has played like an athlete that has turned back the clock recently. Over his last four games he has scored 19 points or more. His play has been a big factor in the Kings being 4-1 over their last five games. Look for a drop in production as Westbrook is exceeding his capabilities especially from beyond the arc, where he has made 9 of his last 15. Tail his under tonight.

The Kings finally cooled on Sunday when losing to the Blazers, but it's still been a big homestand for Sacto, with four straight double-digit wins prior. Doug Christie finally has a nearly-full contingent with the recent return to active duty of Domantas Sabonis, who should gradually be increasing the 20 or so minutes he has received in his first games back to action, and Russell Westbrook has been playing out of memory the past week, leading the Kings in scoring their past two games. Note also that Sacto won 127-111 at Miami back on December 6 when Zach LaVine scored 42, and the Heat enter off of a heavy loss on Monday vs. the Warriors, and just 2-5 their last seven. Play Kings

The Heat continue to play without Tyler Herro (ribs), who will miss his third straight game. Jaime Jaquez Jr. also recently missed two games with a knee issue, but he returned Monday to provide 10 points, five rebounds and nine assists against the Warriors. This is a great matchup for him to remain productive, considering that the Kings have the fourth-worst defensive rating and have given up the sixth-most rebounds per game in the league. When these teams met in December, Jaquez recorded 27 points, six rebounds and six assists with Herro out.

B365/MGM. Jaime Jaquez is averaging 25.6 combined points, rebounds and assists this season, but that number jumps to 27.5 without Tyler Herro. In full games without Herro, Jaquez has cleared this line in 22/30 games, including a 39 PRA effort against the Kings earlier this season. Against Sacramento’s bottom barrel defense (27th), look for Jaquez to once again shine. I’d bet this up to over 23.5.
