Jazz at Kings picks and predictionsPrediction

Kings 129, Jazz 122

The Jazz benefited from the juice of opening at home, and the Kings were victims of losing their season opener to a team opening at home. Home teams are 10-6 so far this season through 1 game, and now the Kings get to play their home opener.

The Jazz were 7-34 on the road last season, so until they show they can be better on the road, don’t pick them.

The Kings should win, but -200 odds aren’t good enough for this play.

PASS.

The Jazz were 22-19 ATS in road games last season, but lost all 4 games to the Kings last season, 3 of them by double digits.

BET KINGS -4.5 (-115).

Both teams saw the Over cash in their openers.

Last season in their 4 meetings, 2 surpassed 233 total points. Both were in Sacramento.

BET OVER 233.5 (-105).
