Lakers at Kings picks and predictions
Prediction
Kings 123, Lakers 116
Moneyline
The Kings will cost you nearly 2 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s quite expensive at home.
The Lakers are struggling, and coming off an ugly loss in Phoenix. In addition, Davis is out for an extended period, and Los Angeles just cannot get everyone healthy at the same time.
PASS.
Against the spread
Play the KINGS -5.5 (-115), as they’re 7-3 ATS in the last 10 home games. Of course, Sacramento comes with its own risk, as it is coming off a straight-up loss as a double-digit favorite.
Still, the Lakers +5.5 (-105) are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 games on the road, while going 2-5-1 ATS in the last 8 games overall. The Lakers have managed a dismal 2-10-1 ATS mark in the last 13 games against winning teams, too.
Over/Under
OVER 236.5 (-110) is the lean here despite the injuries for the Lakers.
The Over is 8-3 in the last 11 games for the Lakers, while hitting in each of the last 4 games on the road. The Over is also 18-7-1 in the last 26 games against a team with a winning overall mark, too.
For the Kings, the Over is 8-1-1 in the last 10 games at Golden 1 Center, while hitting at a 13-2-1 clip in the previous 16 at home against teams with a losing road record.
And in this series, the Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings, while going 23-11-1 in the last 35 meetings in Sacramento.
