76ers at Kings picks and predictions
Prediction
Kings 112, 76ers 105
Moneyline
The Kings (-405) will cost you more than 4 times your potential return, and that’s a crazy amount of risk for such a small return.
While the 76ers (+320) might be tempting for the chance to triple up, especially since they’ve won 10 in a row in the series, Sacramento is the much better team this season, and Philadelphia pulls it at the end of a tough road trip.
PASS, and look to the spread instead.
Against the spread
The 76ERS +9.5 (-110) is a decent play catching nearly double digits. As mentioned above, Philly has dominated the series, last losing more than 5 calendar years ago in Sacramento.
The Kings -9.5 (-110) are coming home after a long road trip to the other coast, and Sacramento is just 2-3 ATS in the past 5 games and 6-8 ATS in the past 14 outings. At Golden 1 Center, Sacramento is just 2-7 ATS in the past 9 home games, too.
Over/Under
UNDER 222 (-110) is a strong play in the capital city of the Golden State.
Both of these teams have been going low rather frequently. Sacramento has cashed the Under in 3 in a row, and 7 of the past 8 games, and the total has gone low in 4 of the past 5 head-to-head meetings with Philly, too.
For the 76ers, while they cashed high against the Clips Sunday, the Under is still 7-1-1 in the past 9 outings. The Under is 4-1 in the past 5 tries playing on no rest, too.
