Kings at Spurs picks and predictions
Prediction
Kings 114, Spurs 111
Moneyline
PASS.
The Spurs may be down their best player, but they have shown life with Wembanyama sidelined. While they could be playable on the ML, look to the spread for value instead.
Against the spread
BET SPURS +5.5 (-105).
The Spurs are 2-2 ATS with Wembanyama sidelined and 2-1 ATS at home. San Antonio has covered 3 of its last 5 games as an underdog. It is 3-2 ATS in its last 5 home games as well.
The Kings, who lost to the Spurs by 20 (116-96) on the road Nov. 11, are just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 away games. They are also 1-6 ATS in their last 7 as favorites.
Take SPURS +5.5 (-105).
Over/Under
BET UNDER 227.5 (-105).
Both teams are coming off a game Thursday and could have tired legs. For the Spurs, they have traded off going Over and Under in their last 8 games and went Over against the Bulls Thursday, so they are primed to go Under.
For Sacramento, it has scored 110 or fewer points in 6 of its last 9 games, going 4-5 O/U. Play UNDER 227.5 (-105).
