The Los Angeles Lakers play the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday, 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 p.m. PT and can be seen on Spectrum SportsNet and NBC Sports California.
Los Angeles (21-20) has won four of the last five but recently saw its winning streak snapped by the red-hot Memphis Grizzlies. The Lakers are looking to get back in the win column to go two games above .500.
Sacramento (16-27) has lost five games in a row, and it looks bleak for a franchise that has missed the postseason for 15 straight seasons. The Kings are expected to be short-handed in the frontcourt, but 2021 second-round pick Neemias Queta had a strong performance against the Cleveland Cavaliers and is a sneaky name to monitor for L.A.
Lakers at Kings notable injuries:
Lakers: OUT – Anthony Davis (MCL), Kendrick Nunn (knee); Probable – LeBron James (abdominal)
Kings: OUT – Richaun Holmes (G League assignment), Damian Jones (health and safety protocol); Questionable – Tristan Thompson (quad)

Advice and prediction
These two teams are no strangers to high-scoring games. The first contest between the two produced a whopping 278 total points because it went to triple-overtime. The third had 236, so it would be reasonable to take the over again. The Lakers should play with more fire and intensity this game after how Memphis’ game went, so the Kings’ losing streak could hit six.
Take the Lakers minus-3.5, Lakers minus-165 and the over 231.5.
Prediction: Lakers 124, Kings 116
