Kings at Spurs picks and predictionsPrediction
Spurs 125, Kings 99
The Kings have lost 15 straight games and are only 3-25 on the road this season, while the Spurs have won 7 straight games and are 20-6 in home games.
There is almost zero shot at the Kings upsetting the Spurs in this game, and the Spurs ML is actually ridiculous to bet. Go with the better value of the spread.
PASS.
The Kings have lost 3 games in a row by more than 20 points and have failed to score 100. They are 4-11 ATS in their losing streak.
While the Spurs have just 1 win by more than 18 points in their winning streak, it was over a shorthanded Suns squad at home, and the Suns are a much better team than the shorthanded Kings.
BET SPURS -18.5 (-105).
Opponents have scored between 120 and 132 points in 5 of the Kings’ last 6 games. They have failed to score 100 in 3 games in a row.
Without the Kings doing better, which seems unlikely against the Spurs’ No. 7-ranked defense, it’s going to be very difficult to get the Over.
BET UNDER 230.5 (-110).
