Rockets at Kings: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Kings 120, Rockets 117
Money line (ML)
The Kings (-190) will cost you nearly two times your potential return, which is personally borderline for me. Yes, the Rockets are in a nosedive, and that’s putting it mildly, but Sacto is just 2-11 across its past 13.
AVOID.

Against the spread (ATS)
The ROCKETS +4.5 (-110) have lost 13 straight games, and this might be their best chance to win in a while. I don’t believe they snap their losing skid, but they should be able to keep it down to a one-possession game late, grabbing their first cover in seven outings.
Their last cover was Feb. 17.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 232.5 (-110) has cashed in two of the past six outings for the Rockets, as they scored 96 or fewer points in three of their past five games.
It’s all Over all the time for the Kings. The Over is 11-1 across their past 12 games.
