What cashed

ALT: Julian Champagnie 2+ made threes (-219 at DraftKings): CASHED

• Our read: Champagnie had made 2+ threes in 9 of his last 10 and 16 of his last 20. At -219 the price implied 69 percent against about 80 percent from recent games.
• What happened: He went 8-of-13 from deep off the bench and scored 26 points in 25 minutes. That cleared the line by 6.5.
• Worth watching: His three-point volume is the steadiest thing about his game. A low threes number on a bench shooter with that many attempts stays on our list.

Devin Vassell 10+ points (-247 at DraftKings): CASHED

• Our read: Vassell had reached 10 points in 8 of his last 10 games.
• What happened: He scored 14 on 5-of-11 shooting, with 4 of 7 from three.

Devin Vassell 4+ rebounds (-146 at FanDuel): CASHED

• Our read: He had cleared 4+ rebounds in 8 of his last 10 and 16 of his last 20, at a price that implied 59 percent.
• What happened: He finished with exactly 4. This one cashed on the number.

Devin Vassell 15+ points + rebounds + assists (-282 at DraftKings): CASHED

• Our read: Vassell had 15+ PRA in 9 of his last 10, and Sacramento ranked 29th against points.
• What happened: 14 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists made 26, clearing the line by 11.5.
• Worth watching: The 8 assists carried this combo. He got there in 24 minutes, so a full workload gives his PRA line room even when the scoring is modest.

Dylan Harper 5+ rebounds (-145 at DraftKings): CASHED

• Our read: Harper had cleared 5+ rebounds in 8 of his last 10.
• What happened: He grabbed 6 in 30 minutes, the most minutes on the Spurs.

Dylan Harper 25+ points + rebounds + assists (-164 at FanDuel): CASHED

• Our read: Harper had 25+ PRA in each of his last 5 games and 8 of his last 10.
• What happened: 13 points on 6-of-7 shooting, 6 rebounds and 6 assists added up to exactly 25.
• Worth watching: He cashed it on the number. He did it with balanced production rather than volume scoring, which matters when you are pricing his combo lines.

De'Aaron Fox 5+ assists (-345 at DraftKings): CASHED

• Our read: Fox had 5+ assists in 10 of his last 10, running the offense against a winless Kings defense.
• What happened: He handed out 6 assists in 26 minutes and added 11 points.
• Worth watching: The price is steep for a reason. He has been a reliable assist floor, so this is a leg we would rather build around than bet alone at -345.

ALT: Stephon Castle 4+ rebounds (-299 at DraftKings): CASHED

• Our read: Castle had cleared 4+ rebounds in 10 of his last 10 and 19 of his last 20.
• What happened: He finished with 5 rebounds, 15 points and 5 assists.

ALT: Kings over 102.5 points (-186 at FanDuel): CASHED

• Our read: Sacramento had cleared 102.5 in 8 of its last 10, and recent Spurs-Kings games had gone over 212.5 in all 10.
• What happened: The Kings entered the fourth quarter with 80 and scored 23 more to finish at 103, a half point over. De'Andre Hunter scored 24, Zach LaVine 22 and Domantas Sabonis had 20 points, 14 rebounds and 8 assists.
• Worth watching: It cleared by a half point. A blowout can drain the trailing team's late scoring, so a team total this close to the line needs a cushion.

How the game played out

The first half decided it. San Antonio led 80-54 at the break and never let Sacramento back in. The Spurs had 29 fast-break points to the Kings' 15.

Trends to watch

• Champagnie took 13 threes in 25 minutes. As long as that volume holds, his threes line is worth a look every night.
• Vassell's 8 assists in 24 minutes shows his combo lines do not depend on scoring.
• Sacramento allowed 80 points in the first half here. Spurs first-half and team-total markets are worth checking the next time these two meet.
