Prediction

Suns 124, Kings 108

Money line (ML)

The Suns (-700) will cost you seven times your potential return, and there is no way to justify making a money line bet with that much risk. Over the long haul it’s a losing proposition.

Against the spread (ATS)

The SUNS -12 (-110) split the first two meetings with the Kings +12 (-110) back in late December at Golden 1 Center in Sac Town, but that’s like a lifetime ago for the Kings.

Sacramento has dropped eight straight games, and they have covered just once during the span while losing four of the past five by at least 10 points.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 229.5 (-110) is the lean here, mainly because Sacramento’s defense is that bad, and Phoenix’s offense has been that good lately. The Kings have coughed up at least 113 points in nine straight outings. The Suns have rolled up 117 or more points in seven of the previous nine.
