Kings at Raptors picks and predictions
Prediction
Kings 121, Raptors 106
Moneyline
The Kings (-460) are way too costly straight up, costing you more than 4 1/2 times your potential return. Sacramento has won 3 of the past 4 games, and 5 of the past 7 contests, while the Raptors (+360) have dropped 7 in a row dating back to the team’s last win on March 3.
PASS.
Against the spread
The KINGS -10 (-108) are laying a big number on the road, but they’re worth playing. The Raptors +10 (-112) have been horrific lately, losing 7 in a row, with 3 of the losses coming by 9 or more points, including a 113-104 loss March 13 against the lowly Detroit Pistons.
Toronto has not only struggled to rack up wins, but it is just 2-8 ATS in the previous 10 outings. Sacramento has cashed in 3 of the past 4 games on the road.
Over/Under
UNDER 231.5 (-110) is a big number, and while we saw these teams combine for 265 points in the 1st meeting, go low in the rematch.
The Under is 4-1 in the past 5 games for the Kings, even though were able to hit the Over last time out against Memphis.
For the Raptors, the Under has cashed in 3 in a row, including just 96 points last time out in Orlando. Toronto is averaging a mere 101.0 PPG in the past 3 outings.
