It all fell nicely into place for the Raptors last night at Golden State, as the Warriors were flat minus Jimmy Butler and never had a look at a 145-127 romp for Toronto. Sacto is also off of a game last night at Golden 1 Center when the Heat shot out the lights ina 130-117 win, and Domantas Sabonis, who recently returned to active duty, will miss tonight for load management. But the Kings had been winning minus Sabonis in the early past of this home stand when they won four straight, including vs. the Knicks, Lakers, and Rockets. The Raps had lost four of six before catching the Dubs vulnerable last night, and the quick-reversal dynamics favor the Kings tonight. Play Kings

The Kings might be the worst-run organization in the NBA, but they appear to have hit on second-round rookie Maxime Raynaud. He should see extended minutes tonight in the second of a B2B with Domantas Sabonis out and fellow big Precious Achiuwa in doubt. Toronto is missing its two top big men, so there should be plenty of rebounds to be had.

This looks like a good spot to back DeMar DeRozan who will be facing a familiar opponent in the Toronto Raptors tonight. DeRozan has eclipsed this line in his previous six head to head matchups against the Raptors. I also like that DeRozan has been playing well recently averaging over 20 PPG in the month of January. This game projects to be competitive and I expect DeRozan to play 35+ minutes.
