Suns at Kings picks and predictions
Prediction
Kings 119, Suns 113
Moneyline
PASS.
I like Sacramento to get the win here with Durant out for Phoenix, but the Kings are not worth the risk of betting on as -300 favorites, especially when the Suns still have 2 All-Star talents in Beal and Booker.
Against the spread
LEAN SUNS +7.5 (-110).
Phoenix has covered 2 of its last 3 games and is 3-0 ATS in it last 3 on the road. The Kings, meanwhile, have dropped 2 of their last 3 ATS.
By the numbers, these teams are very similar on both sides of the ball, so this should be a close game no matter what.
This is a lean because Phoenix is missing its best player and the Kings are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.
Over/Under
BET OVER 225.5 (-110).
The Over has hit in back-to-back games for Phoenix and is 4-1 in the Suns’ last 5. For Phoenix, the Over is 7-4 this season. The Over has also hit in 2 of the last 3 meetings.
There is some risk with this bet, as Phoenix’s offense is bound to be worse with Durant out.
