PASS.
The Spurs are the far better team, so covering as -1000 favorites won’t be a problem here. However, no team favored so heavily is worth the risk of backing on the ML, so pass and bet on the spread and/or total instead.
LEAN SPURS -13.5 (-110).
San Antonio has covered the spread in 6 of its last 8 wins, sitting at 37-29-2 ATS this season, while the Kings are just 28-39-2 ATS. The Spurs are also 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games in Sacramento.
This is a LEAN because the Kings have covered the spread 5 straight.
BET UNDER 235.5 (-110).
The Under has hit in 6 of Sacramento’s last 8 games, including in 3 of its last 4 at home. For the Spurs, the Under has hit in each of its last 3 road games. The Under has also been safer for both teams this season, sitting at 36-33 for the Kings and a much more convincing 40-28 for San Antonio.
Be aware that the Over is 8-2 in the last 10 matchups between these squads.
