The Los Angeles Lakers play the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, money line odds and over-under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet at Tipico Sportsbook.
The game tips off at 7:30 p.m. PT and can be seen on NBA TV, Spectrum SportsNet and NBC Sports California.
Los Angeles (19-19) has won two games in a row and can make it three with a win at home against Sacramento (16-22). LeBron James is still on a tear on both ends of the floor, and players like Malik Monk have stepped up to assist the star in the scoring department while Anthony Davis remains out.
The Kings have been an up and down team this season, but they have won three of their last four thanks to Tyrese Haliburton’s impressive playmaking abilities. Davion Mitchell should also be helpful in guarding James and Russell Westbrook, so the Lakers shouldn’t underestimate their divisional opponent from Northern California. The season series is split at 1-1.
Kings at Lakers notable injuries:
Lakers: OUT – Anthony Davis (MCL), Kendrick Nunn (knee); Probable – Avery Bradley (cervical), LeBron James (abdominal)
Kings: OUT – Richaun Holmes (health and safety protocol); Questionable – Terence Davis (ankle)

Advice and prediction
This is projected to be a high-scoring affair given how both teams have performed defensively on the year. Both are bottom five in the NBA in points allowed. However, the last seven days have seen both teams jump into the top 15 in this category, though it’s still difficult to determine how good a team really is because of health and safety protocols hindering rosters lately.
The Lakers will need Dwight Howard’s size in this game to prevent Marvin Bagley III and Damian Jones from eating on the glass because it wasn’t pretty for L.A. against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
L.A. should make it three wins in a row, so take the Lakers minus-6.5, Lakers minus-270 and the under 229.5.
Prediction: Lakers 114, Kings 107
