Let’s analyze Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s<\/a> NBA odds around the Suns vs. Kings odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions<\/a> for the best bets.<\/p>\n Season series: Suns lead 3-0<\/p>\n The Suns have dominated the season series, winning all 3 meetings, including a 112-100 victory in the only previous meeting in Sacramento back on Nov. 26, as 4.5-point favorites with the Under (233.5) cashing. Phoenix is 2-0-1 against the spread (ATS) this season against the Kings, and 4-0-1 ATS in the past 5 in the series.<\/p>\n Phoenix topped the visiting Los Angeles Lakers 113-110 as a 5.5-point underdog as the Under (223.5) cashed on Thursday, the Suns’ most recent outing. G Grayson Allen went for 28 points with 6 assists and 6 made 3-pointers off the bench. That snapped a 2-game skid, and 0-4-1 ATS streak. The Suns had scored 94 or fewer points in 3 of the previous 4 games, too, while the Under is 4-1 in their past 5 outings.<\/p>\n The Kings also faced the Lakers their last time out, falling 128-104 in L.A. on Sunday as a 13-point underdog with the Under (235.5) cashing. C Maxime Raynaud, taking advantage of a starting role with Domantas Sabonis (knee) out for the rest of the season, shined with 16 points, 13 rebounds and an 8-for-10 shooting night. Rookie G Nique Clifford went for 26 points and 7 rebounds, too, as he gets a longer look with G Zach LaVine (hand) also on the shelf for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n Since Jan. 18, the Kings are just 2-18 SU and 7-13 ATS. The Over is 4-1 in the team’s past 5 games, too<\/p>\n Watch the NBA on Fubo!<\/a>Suns at Kings odds<\/p>\n Provided by BetMGM Sportsbook<\/a>; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub<\/a> for a full list.

While Phoenix has dominated this series, and the Kings are really struggling lately, you can’t back the Suns at this price. It’s way too expensive, especially for a team which has been a bit erratic on the offensive end lately.<\/p>\n PASS.<\/p>\n The SUNS -9.5 (-115) are worth playing lightly, but don’t get carried away.<\/p>\n Again, Phoenix has struggled filling up the basket lately, so proceed with caution. The Suns are just 1-4-1 ATS in their past 6 games, too, while going 3-7-1 ATS across the previous 11 outings. However, Sacramento is 5-8 ATS in the past 13 games, 2-5 ATS in the past 7 at home, and 0-4-1 ATS in the past 5 meetings with Phoenix. As long as this game stays in the single digits, the Suns are worth playing for a full unit.<\/p>\n UNDER 222.5 (-105) in a solid option in this Western Conference battle.<\/p>\n The Under cashed in the only previous meeting this season in California’s capital, and the Under has a 3-2 edge in the past 5 meetings in this series.<\/p>\n Phoenix has cashed low in 3 in a row and in 6 of 9. For Sacramento, though, the Over is 4-1 in the past 5 games, so don’t go overboard.<\/p>\n For more sports betting picks and tips, check out SportsbookWire.com<\/a> and BetFTW<\/a>.<\/p>\n Follow @danieledobish<\/a> on\u00a0Twitter\/X.\u00a0Follow SportsbookWire on Twitter\/X<\/a> and like us on Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n Access more NBA coverage:<\/p>\n HoopsHype<\/a> | Celtics Wire<\/a> | Nets Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Rockets Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Sixers Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Thunder Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Warriors Wire<\/a>\u00a0| LeBron Wire<\/a> |\u00a0Rookie Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0List Wire<\/a><\/p>\n
