This game should be a good one, as both sides enter with flaws on the defensive end which their opponents should be able to successfully exploit. At least one star will be missing, too, which should open the door for some exciting NBA Player Props.

Let's build a same-game parlay for Kings vs Warriors on Sunday, January 5 and lay out a few props that will work well as standalone straight bets as well.

Draymond Green 6+ Assists

We're not quite sure if we'll see Stephen Curry play in this one, but I also don't know if his absence impacts my love for this line.

• Draymond Green struggled to pass into baskets last time out against a tough Memphis Grizzlies team which has protected the rim quite well of late, but prior to that he'd averaged six assists in his last five contests.

This should be a juicy matchup for the do-it-all forward, considering the Kings have looked like the Kings of old with a good-not-great offense and a poor defense over the last two weeks.

Over this span, Sacramento's allowed the 10th-most assists per 100 possessions to opponents, due in large part to its brutal numbers in defending both the arc and the rim.

• We know the Warriors are one of the teams that likes to shoot the 3 the most, and we also know that these areas are where Green's pursuit of assists has bared the most fruit.

With mid-range scoring a heck of a lot tougher than these other two areas, I expect more assisted baskets here -- and Green should be the lead man. If Curry is to miss this one, too, he may spend some time running point to sweeten the pot.

Dennis Schroder 2+ Made Threes

Speaking of running point, Golden State's newest guard has begun to grow comfortable in this offense over the last few games.

• The volume has increased for Schroder after a tumultuous first three games with the Warriors, as the veteran's put up 11.5 shots per game and 5.5 from 3 on average.

After a brutal stretch shooting the ball, too, Schroder has finally found his way into the flow with two or more triples in three straight, shooting 57.1% from downtown over that span.

Sacramento's performance against the 3 can't be overstated, entering this game ranked dead last in the last 14 days with a mark of 42.7% according to Cleaning the Glass. The Warriors don't need a second invitation to launch from outside, and as the assists flow so should the made baskets.

Regardless of Curry's status, this is a highly-attainable number and one which Schroder has now twice hit with Curry active. Steve Kerr wants him to get minutes, and he also wants his newest piece to develop into an outside weapon.

Malik Monk 20+ Points

The big injury news on the other side of the ball comes in the backcourt, where De'Aaron Fox will all but certainly sit out with a glute issue.

That will thrust Malik Monk into a larger role, which is an enticing thought when you consider he's already been heating up in the scoring department and receiving consistent minutes.

• Monk's averaged over 30 minutes per game this season, rewarding the Kings with almost 17 points per game, but in the last four games he's turned it on with 20 or more on three occasions.

Fresh off a season-high 31 points, Monk should once again enjoy life against a Warriors team which has done a bang-up job against the 3, but has struggled elsewhere with the worst mid-range defense in the league over the last two weeks.

Monk's ranked just outside the top 20% of wings in shot frequency in the mid-range, and as this team seems to be inclined to phase DeMar DeRozan out a bit it's turned to Fox and Monk to help fortify an offense centered around scoring in this zone.

Now, without Fox, it'll be all up to Monk -- and I expect a great deal of volume after he took 20 shots on Friday night -- in a game where Fox played almost 40 minutes.
