Lakers at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 120, Lakers 112

Moneyline

PASS.

The Lakers are 0-1 on the road and only clawed out a home win over the short-handed Suns. Expect them to struggle, but at -140, the home side isn’t worth backing on the moneyline either.

Against the spread

BET KINGS -2.5 (-110).

The Lakers are 0-2 ATS while the Kings are 1-1 ATS. Los Angeles was 23-25-1 ATS last season on the road.

The more concerning part is that the Lakers sit 23rd in offensive rating while the Kings are at No. 5. The Lakers rank 25th in true shooting percentage, so offensively, this team won’t be able to keep up with the fast-paced Kings.

Take the far superior offense and back KINGS -2.5 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 234.5 (-105).

The Kings are averaging 122 points per game, but the Lakers have an older roster and will take the air out of the ball.

Los Angeles ranks 18th in pace and 11th in defensive rating. It should be able to play its style of game, as did the Warriors when they took on the Kings Friday.

Given the potential style of play, take UNDER 234.5 (-105).

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.

Los Angeles Lakers at Sacramento Kings odds, picks and prediction

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

The Los Angeles Lakers (11-11) end the month on the road after a couple of home games when they face the Sacramento Kings (8-13) Tuesday. Tip-off is 10 p.m. ET at Golden 1 Center. Below, we look at the Lakers vs. Kings odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Lakers are 3-5 on the road this season. They have alternated losses and wins in their last six games and are coming off a 110-106 home win over the Detroit Pistons Sunday.

Lakers at Kings odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 120, Lakers 115

Money line

The two teams met just four days ago in Los Angeles and went to triple overtime and the Kings came away with a 141-137 win. Barnes missed that game.

The Kings have struggled at home to the tune of a 3-7 record in their first 10 games at Golden 1 Center.

The Lakers have alternated wins and losses the last six games and won their last game.

Take the KINGS (+155).

Against the spread

The Lakers have covered the spread in only one of their last six games. They were 7.5-point favorites in their loss to the Kings and they are the league’s worst team performing against the spread at 7-15.

The Kings aren’t much better at 9-12 ATS but outperform their overall record. They have covered the spread in two of their last three games.

Expecting an outright Kings win, I would certainly take them to cover the spread as underdogs. Take the KINGS +4.5 (-108).

Over/Under

The Lakers lead the NBA with 14 games hitting the Over. Their last three games have gone Over the projected total, as have five of their last six. They are 9-3 O/U in their last 12.

The Kings’ last three games and four of their last five have hit the Over.

Take OVER 225.5 (-115).

Lakers at Kings: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

King 108, Lakers 101

Money line (ML)

The Lakers are struggling without James and Davis, and recently-acquired Drummond was injured in his first game with L.A. However, only one of the Lakers’ five recent losses is to a team under .500. They are 4-1 in their last five games against teams under .500.

The Kings did win the last matchup between the two, claiming a 123-120 home victory March 3. That said, the Lakers without Davis, James and Drummond against one of the hotter teams in the league right now doesn’t seem like a smart bet. Take the KINGS -190.

Against the spread (ATS)

Both the Lakers and Kings are 22-26 ATS this season. The Kings are 6-3 ATS in their last nine games, while the Lakers are 1-6 ATS in their last seven. Ass a favorite, the Kings are 7-9 ATS, while the Lakers are 2-6 ATS as underdogs and have not covered the spread in their last four games as dogs.

Things could change, but the Lakers are bad bet right now. Take the KINGS -4.5 (-110).

Over/Under (O/U)

The Lakers continue to be consistent. They have the highest Under percentage in the league at 66.7%. Their last four games and seven of their last eight have gone Under the total. The Kings are 28-20 O/U, in part because they score a lot (115.0 points per game) and have the league’s second-worst scoring defense. Their last matchup went Over the total but even the Kings have had eight of their last 12 games go Under. Take UNDER 220.5 (-105).
