Clippers 108, Kings 105

Moneyline

The Clippers have won 6 straight home games and have allowed only 100.3 points per game in those games. No one has surpassed 104 points in those 6 home games.

Against the spread

Five of the Kings’ 6 last ATS losses were outright losses. The last 6 covers for the Clippers were outright wins, so you are better off going with the plus odds on the ML.

PASS.

Kings at Clippers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Clippers 115, Kings 98

Money line

PASS here as a single bet.

While they have won four of their last five on the road, the Kings are only 13-26 away from home this season and those four wins came against sub-.500 teams like them.

Meanwhile, the Clippers are rounding into form with the return of forwards Paul George and Norman Powell. They are 23-16 at home this season.

Betting the Kings doesn’t look like a good wager and the price doesn’t make sense to bet on the Clippers. PASS.

PLAY: Free, daily sports pick’em contests. Play now!

Against the spread

The Kings failed to cover the spread in their last two games but are 5-3 against the spread (ATS) in their last eight games, including 4-1 ATS in their last five road games. Three of their last four losses, though, have been by at least 14 points.

The Clippers are 3-2 ATS since George’s return. On the season, they are 18-21 ATS at home but 13-10 ATS there against teams under .500 like the Kings.

Take the CLIPPERS -11.5 (-107).

Over/Under

The first game between the Clippers and Kings this season went for a total of 239 points but neither of the two that followed even cracked 200.

The Kings allow the second-most points in the league, giving up 115.8 per game to their opponents this season. The Clippers held the Pelicans and Suns to 109 or less in their last two games.

Take UNDER 224.5 (-110).

Kings at Clippers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Clippers 111, Kings 106

Money line

The Kings only have three wins in their last 10 games. They are 5-6 on the road, opposed to 3-8 at home, but they only have won twice in their last eight road games.

The Clippers are only 2-3 in their current homestand. They are 3-6 since their seven-game winning streak but are 9-6 at home. That said, the line doesn’t make sense to bet the Clippers.

PASS on the money line.

Against the spread

Neither team has performed particularly well against the spread. The Clippers are 9-12 ATS and the Kings are 9-13 ATS.

The Kings have covered the spread in only three of their last 13 games and the Clippers are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games. They have only covered two spreads this season of at least seven points.

Take the KINGS +7.5 (-115).

Over/Under

Both the Kings and the Clippers have had more games stay Under the projected total this season than hit the Over.

But the Kings have had three of their last four games go Over the projected total, while only three of the last 10 for the Clippers have hit the Over.

Take UNDER 215.5 (-107).

Sacramento Kings at Los Angeles Clippers odds, picks and prediction

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

The Sacramento Kings (11-11) tangle with the Los Angeles Clippers (17-7) in their final regular-season meeting Super Bowl Sunday at the Staples Center. The tip-off is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Kings-Clippers NBA odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

Sacramento spoiled a 50-point game from Nikola Jokic by beating the Denver Nuggets 119-114 as 2.5-point home underdogs yesterday. Quietly, the Kings have been playing good basketball recently, winning three in a row, six of seven, and have covered in all of their last seven contests.

The Clippers have lost two of their last three entering Sunday, both of which were to Eastern Conference contenders in the Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets. Aside from those, and one to Atlanta without Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, Los Angeles has won 11 of its last 14 games.

The Kings were crushed by the Clippers in both meetings this season by a combined 57 points. Kawhi has manhandled the Kings so far this season, averaging 29.5 points per game on 72% true shooting with a 140 offensive rating and 98 defensive rating in both games.

Kings at Clippers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Kings 119, Clippers 114

Money line (ML)

Since I like Sacramento to cover so much, I lean KINGS (+290) for a tiny wager. Sacramento is 0-2 so far this season vs. Los Angeles but was 2-1 last season with one win coming against a Kawhi-less Clippers and the other against a PG13-less Los Angeles.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

I could see Kawhi picking up the slack offensively while PG13 is out of the lineup, and that task is certainly made easier going against the Kings who have the worst defensive rating in the Association.

However, I’m not sure how Los Angeles’ defense stops Sacramento without PG13 and Pat Bev. Over their last seven games, the Kings are seventh in both net rating and effective field goal percentage. Furthermore, the Kings are pretty deep:

Sacramento has six players that average double figures in points per game including SF Harrison Barnes, who is having his best shooting season, fourth-year PG De’Aaron Fox currently playing out of his mind currently and rookie PG Tyrese Haliburton who’s BetMGM’s second-favorite to win Rookie of the Year.

It looked like Sacramento was headed towards another losing season when it fell to 5-10 after getting worked by Los Angeles Jan. 20 before turning it around and winning six of the last seven entering Sunday. Given their current form, we have to TAKE the KINGS +8.5 (-110) for 1 unit.

Over/Under (O/U)

When the Clippers are 100% healthy, they are an elite team on both sides, but until then, Los Angeles will need to outscore teams. And because Sacramento cannot play any defense, the Kings have no choice but to win shootouts. It’s by no means a lock, but I’ll BET a quarter-unit on OVER 228.5 (-110).

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

Prediction

Clippers 125, Kings 102

Money line (ML)

PASS on the money line as there just isn’t enough value on either side. The Clippers are -550 to win this game as they have now won four-straight. Meanwhile, Sacramento has lost five of their last six games and have been relatively uncompetitive in all of those contest. Look at the point spread for more value.

Against the spread (ATS)

CLIPPERS -10.5 (-110) are the correct play on Wednesday night as they have been playing excellent basketball as of late. In their last meeting against the Kings on January 15, they won by 38 points. While this game should be a little bit closer, don’t expect the Kings to keep this within a few baskets.

The Kings have now failed to cover the spread in eight of their last nine games as they are in a major slump right now. This should be a 20-point victory for Los Angeles on Wednesday.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 230.5 (-110) points is the smart play here despite both offenses ranking inside the top-10 this season. Los Angeles has a top-10 scoring defense, as well, and their length and athleticism can really bother teams.

As we saw in the most recent meeting with these two teams, the Kings were able to manage only 100 points. Take the Under here expecting a similar result as we saw less than a week ago.
