Trail Blazers at Kings picks and predictionsPrediction
Kings 121, Trail Blazers 117
Two struggling teams battle for the second time in a row. The home team has won the last 8 meetings between the 2 teams.
The Blazers are only 6-10 on the road this season, although the Kings’ 3-8 home mark isn’t much to get too excited about.
The Blazers haven’t won 3 games in a row since Oct. 27-31. It is hard to win 2 consecutive games over the same team in the NBA and to have to do it on the road is even harder.
BET KINGS (+150).
While the Kings covered the spread on Thursday in a loss, in their previous 3 ATS wins they won the game outright. And with plus odds on for the Kings ML, that is the better way to go.
PASS.
These two combined for 230 points on Thursday in regulation before cruising to 267 thanks to overtime.
That is the only meeting between the teams that has reached 240 points since Dec. 2023.
The Blazers’ last 3 games have reached 240 but 6 of their last 7 losses have not.
BET UNDER 239.5 (-110).
