LA Clippers at Sacramento Kings odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s LA Clippers at Sacramento Kings odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The LA Clippers (47-27) wrap up a 4-game road trip against the Sacramento Kings (43-31) Tuesday. Tip-off at Golden 1 Center is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Clippers vs. Kings odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Clippers lead 2-1; Kings won most recent meeting 123-107 Feb. 25, 123-107, cashing as 4-point underdogs as the Under (240) cashed

The Clippers have won all 3 games on the road trip, but they’re just 1-2 against the spread (ATS) while cashing the Over twice. However, in the past 12 games, LA is playing .500 ball, going just 6-6 straight up (SU) and 3-9 ATS. The Over is 6-1 in the past 7 outings.

The Kings halted a 2-game losing run last time out with a 127-106 win over the Utah Jazz, covering as 12.5-point favorites as the Over (220.5) cashed. That snapped an 0-2 SU/ATS mini skid, while the Over ended a 6-0 run to the Under. The total has still gone low in 10 of the past 12 outings.

Clippers at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings114, Clippers 104

Moneyline

Originally, I liked the Clippers here, until they announced Leonard is out. While they have struggled with consistency lately, a lot of the problems have been at home. On the road, LA has won 5 straight, and 9 of the past 11 away from home. The road team has won 5 of the past 7 meetings in this series, too.

But with Leonard out, the Clippers can’t be trusted.

Against the spread

BET KINGS -3 (-110).

Los Angeles will likely phone it in Tuesday. The Clippers are one of the better road teams, where they are 25-14 straight up (SU) but 19-20 ATS … and they’re going without their star player in this possible playoff preview.

Sacramento is 22-15 SU at home, but 15-22 ATS at Golden 1 Center.

I’m willing to back the KINGS -3 (-110) though because Leonard is sitting for the Clippers.

Over/Under

OVER 221 (-110) is the lean, mainly due to LA.

The Clippers have seen the Over cash in 6 of the past 7 games, and 9 of the past 12 outings. The Over has a slight 3-2 edge in the past 5 meetings in this series, including the past 2 in California’s capital city.

For the Kings, though, the Over has been a rarity. It cashed last time out against the Jazz, but that snapped a 6-0 Under run. The total has gone high in just 2 of the past 12 outings, so be careful, and play the Over very lightly.

Los Angeles Clippers at Sacramento Kings odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Los Angeles Clippers at Sacramento Kings odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Los Angeles Clippers (33-32) visit the Golden 1 Center to battle the Sacramento Kings (36-25) Friday. Tip is set for 10 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Clippers vs. Kings odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Clippers are 1-2 straight up against the Kings and 0-3 against the spread (ATS) this season. The total is 1-2 O/U as well. They did win 111-109 in the lone battle this season at Golden 1 Center.

Los Angeles lost to the Warriors 115-91 Thursday evening, failing to cover as a 2.5-point road favorite. It is 0-4 ATS over its last 4 and 2-7 ATS over its last 9 games. Over that span, the Clippers are 1-3 ATS on the road.

The Kings, on the other hand, have covered 4 in a row and 5 of their last 6. They won back-to-back games in Oklahoma City, the most recent being a 123-117 win Feb. 28. Sacramento is 34-26-1 ATS on the season.

Clippers at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 117, Clippers 114

Moneyline

PASS.

A sprinkle on the Clippers could be justified as they are the only team in the Western Conference with a better winning percentage on the road than at home. The Kings are also just 18-12 at home this season.

Ultimately, I would pass here though.

Against the spread

LEAN CLIPPERS +5.5 (-105).

The Clippers are 18-17 ATS away from home this season while the Kings are just 15-14-1 ATS at home; however, they are just 10-11-1 ATS as a home favorite.

They are also just 3-3 ATS in their last 6 home games. Sacramento could also be without its top scorer, Fox. The Kings are just 2-4 straight up this season without Fox, so his presence will be crucial here.

Considering F Kawhi Leonard could be back after resting against the Warriors, back the CLIPPERS +5.5 (-105); however, I would wait to play this until knowing who will take the court.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 239.5 (-110).

The last time these teams played, the game went into double overtime and was the second-highest-scoring game in league history.

The Clippers have since scored 124, 101 and 91 points with the Under hitting in 2 of their last 3 games. They allow just 112.5 points per game this season, one of their strengths. They are also 29-36 O/U while Sacramento is 30-29 O/U.

Chances are this is a public fade as well, and with G Russell Westbrook providing ample size to guard Fox, if he plays, the Kings should be less effective offensively. Back the UNDER 239.5 (-110).

Clippers at Kings odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Clippers 115, Kings 104

Money line

The Clippers are nearly at full strength, still missing Morris, who is out with COVID protocols. Meanwhile, the Kings are missing their top scorer and four others.

The Kings are 1-2 without Fox in the lineup.

Take the CLIPPERS (-250).

Against the spread

The Clippers have failed to cover the spread in three straight games and are only 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games. They are 0-2 ATS in their two losses to the Kings already this season.

For the Kings, dating back to Nov. 3, their ATS record matches their overall record. Every win has been a cover. In every loss, they have failed to cover the spread. Missing as many players as they are tonight, I don’t see them winning or covering.

Take the CLIPPERS -6.5 (-105).

Over/Under

Only two of the Clippers’ last eight games have gone Over the projected total. They have not scored more than 103 in their last three games and have averaged only 103.8 points per game in their last eight.

The Kings, though, have allowed an average of 118.9 points per game in their last eight contests and five of those games hit the Over.

The Clippers will score nearly what the Kings are allowing but will keep them from scoring enough to make this a high-scoring game.

Take UNDER 218.5 (-107).

Los Angeles Clippers at Sacramento Kings odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Los Angeles Clippers at Sacramento Kings odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Los Angeles Clippers (12-11) face the Sacramento Kings (9-14) Saturday for the second time in four nights. Tip-off is set for 10 p.m. ET at Golden 1 Center. Below, we look at the Clippers vs. Kings odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Clippers snapped a three-game losing skid Friday with a 119-115 win over the Los Angeles Lakers. L.A. is 4-7 over its last 11 games following a seven-game win streak in early November. F Paul George leads the way averaging 25.6 points and 7.3 rebounds per game.

The Kings are confusing — they are 3-8 at home but 6-6 on the road. They are seventh in the league with 110.0 points scored per game but are 28th in points allowed at 113.4 points per contest. Sacramento beat the Clippers 124-115 in Los Angeles Wednesday.

Clippers at Kings odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 124, Clippers 119

Money line

The Kings were in a similar situation with the Lakers last week, having played them twice in a week, winning the first on the road and then losing the game at home. They beat the Clippers on the road Wednesday.

The Clippers are on the second night of a back-to-back, while the Kings have not played since Wednesday. The Clippers are 0-3 this season on the second night of a back-to-back this season.

Sacramento may be able to take advantage, even without Barnes, with George banged up for the Clippers.

Take the KINGS (-103).

Against the spread

Both teams are 10-13 ATS this season. The Kings are 2-1 ATS when they have a rest advantage, while the Clippers are 2-5 ATS with a rest disadvantage and 0-3 ATS on the second night of back-to-back games.

Take the KINGS +1.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The Clippers’ last three games, and four of the Kings’ last five, have gone Over the projected total.

The two teams combined for 239 in their game on Wednesday.

Take OVER 218.5 (-110).

Los Angeles Clippers at Sacramento Kings odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Friday’s Los Angeles Clippers at Sacramento Kings NBA betting odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Los Angeles Clippers (8-4) play the Sacramento Kings (5-7) in a Pacific Division game Friday at Golden 1 Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Clippers-Kings NBA betting odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

Los Angeles got out to an impressive 61-43 first-half lead its last time out vs. the New Orleans Pelicans but lollygagged in the second half, winning 111-106 but not covering as a 12-point home favorite Wednesday. The Clippers’ superstars really brought it: Kawhi Leonard and Paul George combined for 55 points on 16-for-34 shooting, 12 rebounds and 15 assists against the Pelicans.

The Kings played a similar game Wednesday except they fully choked a 20-point lead over the Portland Trail Blazers in a 132-126 loss in Sacramento. They out-rebounded the Blazers 42-38, shot better from the field and behind the arc, and threw 35 assists to Portland’s 28. The reasons the Kings lost are they turned the ball over five more times and couldn’t stop Blazers Gs Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum who scored a combined 68 points.

Sacramento was 2-1 straight up and against the spread in the 2019-20 season series with Los Angeles.

Clippers at Kings: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Clippers 119, Kings 116

Money line (ML)

PASS with a lean toward the Kings (+220) because I like Sacramento getting points in this spot. What’s keeping me away from sprinkling on the Kings’ money line is the Clippers looking like the second-best team in the Western Conference and Sacramento’s recent success vs. Los Angeles could motivate the Clippers.

Against the spread (ATS)

Betting on the Kings is a roller coaster ride that crashes at the end more often than not. Sacramento outplayed Portland and was ahead for 90% of the game Wednesday and not only did the Kings lose outright but they couldn’t even cover as 5-point home dogs.

The Kings are 1-6 ATS in their last seven and in four of the last five they’ve scored at least 123 points; however, the Clippers are 1-3 ATS in their last four and if Williams doesn’t play then Kawhi and PG are going to need to do a lot. Either way, I think Sacramento’s bench could cut into whatever lead Los Angeles’ starters build.

I’ll TAKE the KINGS +6.5 (-105) for 1 unit.

Over/Under (O/U)

According to Pregame.com, nearly 80% of the action is on the Over yet the total has been brought down from 230.5. That movement can only mean the House is cool with bettors taking the Over. I don’t like how that sounds.

I only lean OVER 227.5 (-110) for a quarter-unit because the play seems obvious and I’m seeing weird number movement.
