Prediction
Clippers 126, Kings 112
Moneyline (ML)
The Clippers (-1112) are massive favorites in this contest against the Kings (+675), as you would expect. Los Angeles has won six of its last seven games, while the Kings have won just two of their last seven games. There just isn’t any value on this moneyline, so PASS in favor of a bet against the spread.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The CLIPPERS (-12.5, -121) open this game as double-digit favorites against the in-state Kings in this Western Conference matchup. Sacramento has gone just 2-6-1 against the spread over its last nine games, while the Clippers have covered in five of their last seven contests. Despite the monstrous spread, expect the Clippers to cover again tonight and win by at least 13 points as they get back to full health.
Over/Under (O/U)
The total for this contest is set at 225.5 points, which feels just about right given how explosive the Clippers’ offense has been this season. Despite numerous injuries, the Clippers have averaged over 115 points per game this season, fourth-best in the NBA. If the Kings can eclipse 110 points in this game, the OVER 225.5 (-115) should hit with relative ease.
