The Sacramento Kings may be tanking, but tanking doesn't mean a lack of betting value, especially when the opposing team is in the playoff hunt. The Los Angeles Clippers will host the Kings at 10:30 p.m. ET in the Intuit Dome, and they're 13.5-point favorites.

Let's dive into our Kings vs. Clippers player props today as our NBA picks and best bets series continues. We're backing two players with plenty to prove (especially relative to their teammates) in this spot.

💰 Best Kings vs. Clippers prop bet

Darius Garland Over 18.5 points (-114)

Since entering the starting lineup for the Clippers, Darius Garland is yet to score fewer than 20 points. That streak should survive another game. Over the last 15 games, the Kings have allowed the most points per game to point guards. They have also allowed the most made field goals in the non-restricted paint and the sixth-most above-the-break 3's.    

Garland, an undersized point guard, is a menace in the zones where the Kings struggle. He also comes into this game fresher than most of his teammates, as the Clippers gave him the night off yesterday. Bet on another big game from him by buying the Over 18.5 for -114 (53.3%) at Caesars.

Precious Achiuwa Over 15.5 points & rebounds

The Kings may have one of the NBA's worst rosters, but Achiuwa is a bright spot. Since the All-Star Break, he is averaging a solid 15.7 points and 5.9 rebounds per game, substantially more than this total. Fluctuating usage and rotations have affected his consistency, but this spot is a great one for him.

The market remains far too low on Achiuwa, and I'm eager to back him versus a gassed Clippers squad that will be missing a piece or two. Not many players have much left to prove in Sacramento, but Achiuwa, who is on a one-year, veteran minimum deal, must step up in his age-26 season to prove that he belongs in the NBA. 

Buy the Over 15.5 points and rebounds for -112 (52.8%) at DraftKings.

🚀 Kings vs. Clippers same-game parlay

Let's tease Garland's points prop up slightly, pair it with Achiuwa's points and rebounds, and toss in a correlation play with Kawhi Leonard's under across the three major stat categories for a +448 same-game parlay at FanDuel. The thesis here is that those two will step up at Leonard's expense as the Clippers play on a back-to-back set and their third game in four days.

Follow all of our NBA analysis and expert predictions this season.

I love the two NBA player props above, and both are worth a two-unit wager in my book. Garland should excel versus a bad Kings defense off some extra rest, while Achiuwa should feast against a shaky frontcourt if given the minutes. With the Clippers in the playoff hunt, Garland should have plenty of motivation; even though the Kings are out, Achiuwa has to keep playing well to stick around.
