The last time they stepped on the court, the San Antonio Spurs saw their 11-game losing streak snapped in a 25-point loss. How will Stephon Castle and his teammates rebound against Andre Drummond and the Philadelphia 76ers? Devin Booker returns tonight, as the Phoenix Suns look for a season sweep of the Sacramento Kings. While Booker's return is great, I highlight why Grayson Allen is the player to watch in that game.

Spurs vs. 76ers Same Game Parlay
Leg #1: Spurs Team Total Over 120.5 Points (-105)
The Spurs are coming off a horrific offensive performance that saw them score fewer than 100 points for the first time since January 25th. However, before scoring 89 against the New York Knicks on Sunday, the Spurs had scored at least 110 points in 11 consecutive games, reaching at least 121 points seven times during that span.
The Spurs are averaging 118 points per game, and they should be in for a high-scoring affair against a 76ers team averaging 116.4 points per game. And with the 76ers allowing 115.9 points per contest, which ranks 18th in the league, there's no reason to expect the Spurs to struggle for the second consecutive contest.
Leg #2: Stephon Castle Under 6.5 Assists (-101)
The 76ers are allowing 27.5 assists per game, which ranks 22nd in the NBA. Yet, while I expect the Spurs to score plenty, there's no way to justify Stephon Castle reaching seven assists for a price of -130.
Castle is averaging 6.8 assists per game, but he's recorded fewer than seven assists in six of his last seven games. And while he averaged 6.1 assists per game in February, that average was greatly inflated by two double-digit assist performances. In 10 games last month, he only reached seven assists three times.
Leg #3: Andre Drummond Under 9.5 Rebounds (+103)
Andre Drummond is coming off a 12-rebound game against the Boston Celtics. However, he also played 32 minutes in that game, tied for his most since November 23rd. While Drummond has at least 10 rebounds in three of his last five games, he has fewer than 10 rebounds in 13 of his last 17 games.
Thanks in large part to Victor Wembanyama, the Spurs are one of the best rebounding teams in the league. And since they're only allowing 43.5 rebounds per game, I struggle to see Drummond surpassing his season average of 8.8 rebounds per contest.
Parlay Odds: +625
Suns vs. Kings Same Game Parlay
Leg #1: Suns -10.5 (-110)
The Suns are already 3-0 against the Kings this season, and they won at Sacramento 112-100 back in late November. While the Suns have struggled a bit of late, their difficulties have been nothing compared to what the Kings have endured. The Kings have lost 18 of their last 20 games. Eleven of those 18 losses were by at least 11 points. The last time these two teams met, the Suns won by 27 points.
Leg #2: Grayson Allen 20+ Points (+120)
Devin Booker returns tonight after missing four games. However, in what I expect to be a lopsided affair, Booker is probably going to see limited minutes, even if the Suns haven't stated that as their plan with him.
Therefore, I'm going to back Grayson Allen to clear his season average by at least 2.5 points. He's scored at least 21 points in five of his last six games. And he'll be the team's second-leading scorer on the court tonight. If Booker sees limited minutes, as I expect him to, Allen will take over the offense, just as he has done all of February.
Leg #3: Russell Westbrook 6+ Assists (+150)
The Suns are allowing only 24.7 assists per game, which ranks fifth-best in the league. However, I love this price for Russell Westbrook. He is averaging 6.3 assists per game, and he dished out six assists in his last game against the Suns.
Though he has only recorded six or more assists in two of his last 13 games, he has at least five assists in two of his last three games. As the Kings have struggled, so has Westbrook, but in a matchup that already worked for him once this season, getting him at +150 odds below his season average is too good to pass up.
Parlay Odds: +950
