Clippers at Kings picks and predictions
Prediction
Kings 107, Clippers 100
Moneyline
PASS.
I like the Kings (-250) to win here and cover, but they are not worth the risk of betting on as such heavy favorites. I recommend passing and betting the spread and/or Over/Under instead.
Against the spread
LEAN KINGS -6.5 (-110).
Sacramento has covered the spread in 4 of its last 5 games, while the Clippers are just 2-3 ATS in their last 5. The Kings have also covered the last 2 head-to-head meetings and are 5-3 ATS in the last 8.
This is a lean because the Kings have yet to play a good team — other than Miami when they came away with a 1-point win — so the Clippers could give them a fight here.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 223.5 (-110).
The Under has hit in back-to-back games for Sacramento and is 2-0 in its last 2 at home.
For the Clippers, the Under is 2-1 in its last 3 overall. LA has also been phenomenal defensively, allowing just 107.8 points per game.
The Under has hit in 3 straight meetings between these teams.
