Lakers at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 112, Lakers 107

Moneyline

PASS.

I like the Kings to win here, as they are 7-3 in the last 10 meetings, but they are not worth the risk of betting on as -225 favorites. Pass here, and bet the spread and/or O/U instead.

Against the spread

LEAN LAKERS +6.5 (-115).

L.A. has covered the spread in 4 of its last 5 games, while Sacramento has dropped 3 straight ATS. The Lakers are also the slightly better team ATS this season at 12-15, while the Kings are just 10-17-1.

This is a lean because the Lakers have a few key pieces on the injury report and the Kings are 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings.

If Davis and James play, this bet is nearly a lock.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 228.5 (-110).

The Under has hit in 4 straight Lakers games and is 8-2 in the last 10. The Under is also 16-11 for the Lakers this season.

For Sacramento, the Under is 2-1 in its last 3 games.

The Under has also hit in 2 of the last 3 meetings.
