After a shaky start in Sacramento, Zach Lavine appeared to hit his stride in April.
The former Chicago Bull is averaging 27.4 points on 51.9 percent shooting overall and a scorching 53.2 percent from 3 this month, during what has easily been his best stretch with the Kings.
Lavine has been shooting the lights out, and with Malik Monk sidelined with a calf strain he’s been playing monster minutes entering the play-in tournament.

Mavericks vs. Kings betting preview
Leading up to the Kings’ last game of the season, Lavine played 40-plus minutes in four straight contests for just the second time in his 11-year NBA career.
With little scoring punch aside from running mate DeMar DeRozan, Lavine is sure to see the court a ton again Wednesday night in Sacramento against the Dallas Mavericks during the NBA play-in tournament.
Mavericks vs. Kings pick
In the eight games Anthony Davis has played since his injury return, the Mavericks are allowing an average of 111.5 points, but the big man’s presence shouldn’t hamper Lavine too much.
A lot of Lavine’s production has come from the perimeter, where Dallas is vulnerable as Davis hangs around the basket.
Betting on the NBA?
Lavine’s points over/under is sitting at just 23.5 as of this writing, which is a number he’s gone over in six straight full games played.
The play: Zach Lavine Over 23.5 points (-110, bet365 Sportsbook)
