NBA Play-In Tournament: Golden State Warriors at Sacramento Kings odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Golden State Warriors at Sacramento Kings odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Golden State Warriors (46-36) and Sacramento Kings (46-36) meet in the NBA Play-In Tournament at Golden 1 Center Tuesday. Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (TNT). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Warriors vs. Kings odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Tied 2-2

The Warriors won 10 of 12 straight up (SU) to finish the regular season but covered just once in their final 6 games, while the Kings lost 5 of 7 SU down the stretch but ended the regular season on a 4-2 against-the-spread (ATS) run.

Golden State was 2-1-1 ATS vs. the Kings in the regular season, and the Over/Under (O/U) went 2-2.

In their most recent meeting on Jan. 25, the Kings, as 1-point favorites, won 134-133 in Sacramento as the Over (244) hit. Kings C Domantas Sabonis scored the eventual game-winning dunk with 22 seconds remaining, and Warriors G Stephen Curry turned the ball over in the final seconds, wasting Golden State’s final possession.

The Warriors beat the Kings 4-3 in the 1st round of last season’s playoffs. The Kings went 4-3 ATS in the series, and the Under also went 4-3. The home team won the 1st 4 games SU, and the away side was victorious in the final 3.

Tuesday’s winner will be play the loser of the game between the Los Angeles Lakers and New Orleans Pelicans for the 8th seed in the West while the loser is eliminated.

Warriors at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 111, Warriors 110

Moneyline

The Kings (+115) being home underdogs to the Warriors (-140) seems like an overreaction to both teams’ recent play.

Golden State has been winning games SU, but it has failed to cover in recent weeks against bottom-of-the-barrel teams such as the Portland Trail Blazers, San Antonio Spurs and Utah Jazz (twice).

These poor outings could be due to lack of motivation to win by margin, but the more likely cause is that this is a Curry-dependent team that is not capable of putting together 4 quarters of good basketball.

The Kings haven’t looked great recently, but 10 of their last 13 games were against teams that made the postseason. They easily covered against the Jazz and Trail Blazers — unlike Golden State.

BET KINGS (+115).

Against the spread

The Kings should cover, but I prefer the plus odds on the ML.

PASS.

Over/Under

The Under has hit in 16 of Sacramento’s last 20 games and 4 of the last 6 meetings between these teams.

Given the recent playoff history between Golden State and Sacramento, Tuesday should be a low-scoring, grind-it-out game — unlike their 134-133 shootout Jan. 25. However, the total was 227.5 Sunday evening, so we’d be getting the worst of the number at this point.

LEAN UNDER 223.5 (-110).

New Orleans Pelicans at Sacramento Kings odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s New Orleans Pelicans at Sacramento Kings odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New Orleans Pelicans (47-32) square off against the Sacramento Kings (45-34) Thursday with tip-off from Golden 1 Center set for 10 p.m. ET (TNT). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Pelicans vs. Kings odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Pelicans lead 4-0

The Pels have won 2 straight after road victories over the Phoenix Suns and Portland Trail Blazers. They lost 5 of 6 before that stretch as they arrive in Sac Town. Oddly enough, all of those losses were at home, and they’ve won 4 straight on the road. G Trey Murphy III opened up his game with 31 points and 8 boards Tuesday against Portland, and he has been in double figures in 8 straight.

The Kings had a 1-3 road trip after a 112-105 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder Tuesday. C Domantas Sabonis was ineffective with just 8 points on 2-for-7 shooting, 13 boards and 5 assists. G Keon Ellis introduced himself with 26 points on 8-for-15 from 3-point land.

Pelicans at Kings and predictions

Prediction

Kings 111, Pelicans 107

Moneyline

We’re going to buck some trends here, but I’ll serve you a large helping of rationale.

The Pelicans have the fact they’ve won all 4 meetings working against them. It’s extremely hard, especially against a playoff team, to beat a team 5 times in a regular season. The Pelicans have won 4 straight road games. Cash is pouring in on the Pelicans, but I mentioned the emergence of Ellis in the opening. This is big because the Kings have been searching for another depth option behind Sabonis and De’Aaron Fox with Huerter and Monk out. He dropped 13 on 3-for-3 shooting from 3-point land in 12 minutes last time these teams met.

Take KEON ELLIS OVER 1.5 3-POINTERS and look to the spread.

Against the spread

If you’re on board with the Kings getting some revenge on their home court, the KINGS -1.5 (+100) provides the most value. The Pelicans are playing without Ingram, and while they’ve won 4 straight on the road, their uninspiring play at home is rather glaring.

Over/Under

The Pels are 4-6 O/U over their last 10, and Sacramento is 2-8. The Under is 3-1 in this matchup this season. This total is nearly 20 points lower than the next lowest total they’ve squared off at.

I think this one sneaks OVER 215.5 (-110).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Sacramento Kings (45-33) and Oklahoma City Thunder (53-25) face off Tuesday. Tip-off from Paycom Center is set for 8 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Kings vs. Thunder odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Sacramento leads 2-1

Sacramento routed the Brooklyn Nets 107-77 Sunday while covering as a 10.5-point road favorite. The Kings won the rebounding battle 54-46 and the turnover battle 17-9 and the win ended a 2-game losing streak.

OKC came away with a 121-118 over the Charlotte Hornets Sunday, failing to cover as a 7.5-point road favorite. The Thunder saw 7 players score in double figures in ending a 3-game losing streak.

Kings at Thunder picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 117, Thunder 114

Moneyline

PASS.

I like the Kings (+148) to cover here and possibly pick up the win, especially since they are 8-2 in their last 10 matchups with OKC. However, their odds are safer with the points, especially given the fact that the Thunder have been the better team all season.

Against the spread

BET KINGS +4 (-110).

Sacramento has covered the spread in back-to-back outings and is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games. The Thunder have also been bad ATS lately, failing to cover the spread in each of their last 5 games and being only 3-7 ATS in their last 10. The Kings are also 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 matchups vs. OKC.

Over/Under

BET OVER 228 (-112).

The Over has hit in each of OKC’s last 3 games and is 7-3 in its last 10 outings. For Oklahoma City, the Over is 45-32-1 on the year. The Over has also hit in back-to-back Sacramento-OKC matchups, being 6-2-1 in the last 9 meetings.

Be aware that the Over is 8-2 in Sacramento’s last 10.

Season series: Kings lead 1-0 with 131-118 home win on Dec.11.

The Kings have dropped back-to-back games, losing 120-109 to the New York Knicks on Thursday and then falling 101-100 to the Boston Celtics on Friday while covering as 9-point road underdogs. G De’Aaron Fox scored a game-high 40 points on 7-of-13 from 3 but Sacramento shot only 38.4% from the field in the loss.

Brooklyn has won back-to-back games after knocking off the Detroit Pistons 113-103 on Saturday while failing to cover as a 10.5-point home favorite. G Cam Thomas scored a game-high 32 points while 5 Brooklyn players scored in double figures. The Nets shot 52.1% from the field in the win.

Kings at Nets picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 114, Nets 104

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on Sacramento (-300), who is 21-18 on the road to beat a Brooklyn (+240) team that is 30-47 overall and 18-20 at home this season.

Against the spread

BET KINGS -7.5 (-105).

While the Kings have lost back-to-back games, they played the Celtics well on Friday falling by just 1 point to the best team in the NBA. They are 3-1 ATS in their last 4 games and 5-3 ATS in their last 8.

Brooklyn is just 33-41-3 ATS this season, 1-3 ATS in its last 4 games and 3-5 ATS in its last 8. Playing on a back-to-back, it will not be able to keep up with Sacramento.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 220.5 (-105).

The Kings have hit the Under in 8 of their last 10 games and have scored 109 or fewer points in each of their last 3 games and in 8 of their last 9. They have held opponents to 109 or fewer in 8 of their last 10.

Brooklyn has failed to hit the over in 3 of its last 4 games. It has scored 113 or fewer points in 3 of its last 4 and 7 of its last 10. It has allowed 111 or fewer in 6 of its last 10.

The Boston Celtics (60-16) welcome the Sacramento Kings (44-32) to TD Garden Friday. Tip is set for 7:30 p.m. ET (NBA TV). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Kings vs. Celtics odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Celtics lead 1-0

The Celtics blasted the Kings 144-119 on Dec. 20, covering as a 3.5-point road underdog.

Boston is riding a 3-game win streak and is coming off a 135-100 home win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, covering as a 12-point favorite. It is 3-2 straight up and 2-3 against the spread (ATS) over its last 5 games. The Celtics are 40-33-3 ATS on the season.

The Kings lost to the New York Knicks 120-109 Thursday, failing to cover as a 4-point road underdog. They are 2-3 in their last 5 games and 4-4 over their last 8. Sacramento is 4-4 ATS in the stretch and 38-37-1 ATS on the season.

Kings at Celtics picks and predictions

Prediction

Celtics 118, Kings 109

Moneyline

PASS.

The Celtics are rightfully a strong favorite and are a league-best 33-3 at home this season. However, at -500, they aren’t worth a play to win outright.

Against the spread

BET KINGS +10 (-110).

The Kings haven’t been a double-digit underdog all season long and finished 3rd in the Western Conference last season with a similar roster. They are 3-1 ATS in their last 4 games as a road underdog and 2-1 in their last 3 games in general.

The Celtics are strong at home, but they are just 1-3 ATS in their last 4 games as a double-digit favorite and 0-2 ATS in their last 2 games as a favorite of 10-11. Boston could be without 2 of its last 4 leading scorers in Brown and White as well.

Back KINGS +10 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 225.5 (-110).

The Celtics have gone Over in 2 straight games, scoring at least 118 in both, and they have gone Over in 7 of their last 8. They have the No. 1-ranked offensive rating in the NBA.

The Kings have allowed at least 120 points in 2 of their last 5 and have gone Over in 2 of their last 3. Sacramento has scored at least 109 points in 3 straight games.

Take OVER 225.5 (-110).

Season series: Knicks lead 1-0 with 98-91 win on March 16, covering as a 3-point road underdog

The Knicks have lost 3 straight games after winning 7 of 8 games. New York is coming off a 109-99 loss on the road to the Miami Heat Tuesday, failing to cover as a 2.5-point underdog. It is 4-2 against the spread (ATS) over its last 6 games and 39-33-3 ATS on the season.

The Kings have won 2 in a row and are coming off a 109-95 win over the LA Clippers, covering as a 3-point favorite. They have won 4 of their last 6, covering in each win and failing to in each loss.

Kings at Knicks picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 111, Kings 108

Moneyline

PASS.

The Kings (+136) have some value on the moneyline, but their odds on the spread pose the best play here. The Knicks are too expensive to take to win outright at -162.

Against the spread

BET KINGS +3.5 (-110).

The Kings are one of the best teams in the NBA both are covering on the road and as an underdog. They are 15-9 ATS as an underdog, the 3rd-best covering rate. They are 22-14-1 ATS on the road, the 4th-best covering rate in the NBA.

At the same time, the Knicks are 1-2 ATS in their last 3 games and have lost all 3. They have lost 4 of their last 7. New York is also 1-2 ATS in its last 3 games against teams in playoff position.

Couple the trends together and take KINGS +3.5 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 215.5 (-110).

The Kings have the scoring to hang with the Knicks, and New York has been scoring at will over the last few weeks. They are 7-1 O/U in their last 8 games, scoring at least 124 in 3 of their last 5. New York has also allowed at least 109 points in each of its last 3 games.

The Kings have offensive talent in G De’Aaron Fox, but they have gone Under in 7 of their last 8 games. They have scored at least 108 in 4 of their last 6 and in 2 straight.

Both teams have the firepower to score, and given the Knicks’ recent offensive success, back OVER 215.5 (-110).

LA Clippers at Sacramento Kings odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s LA Clippers at Sacramento Kings odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The LA Clippers (47-27) wrap up a 4-game road trip against the Sacramento Kings (43-31) Tuesday. Tip-off at Golden 1 Center is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Clippers vs. Kings odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Clippers lead 2-1; Kings won most recent meeting 123-107 Feb. 25, 123-107, cashing as 4-point underdogs as the Under (240) cashed

The Clippers have won all 3 games on the road trip, but they’re just 1-2 against the spread (ATS) while cashing the Over twice. However, in the past 12 games, LA is playing .500 ball, going just 6-6 straight up (SU) and 3-9 ATS. The Over is 6-1 in the past 7 outings.

The Kings halted a 2-game losing run last time out with a 127-106 win over the Utah Jazz, covering as 12.5-point favorites as the Over (220.5) cashed. That snapped an 0-2 SU/ATS mini skid, while the Over ended a 6-0 run to the Under. The total has still gone low in 10 of the past 12 outings.

Clippers at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings114, Clippers 104

Moneyline

Originally, I liked the Clippers here, until they announced Leonard is out. While they have struggled with consistency lately, a lot of the problems have been at home. On the road, LA has won 5 straight, and 9 of the past 11 away from home. The road team has won 5 of the past 7 meetings in this series, too.

But with Leonard out, the Clippers can’t be trusted.

Against the spread

BET KINGS -3 (-110).

Los Angeles will likely phone it in Tuesday. The Clippers are one of the better road teams, where they are 25-14 straight up (SU) but 19-20 ATS … and they’re going without their star player in this possible playoff preview.

Sacramento is 22-15 SU at home, but 15-22 ATS at Golden 1 Center.

I’m willing to back the KINGS -3 (-110) though because Leonard is sitting for the Clippers.

Over/Under

OVER 221 (-110) is the lean, mainly due to LA.

The Clippers have seen the Over cash in 6 of the past 7 games, and 9 of the past 12 outings. The Over has a slight 3-2 edge in the past 5 meetings in this series, including the past 2 in California’s capital city.

For the Kings, though, the Over has been a rarity. It cashed last time out against the Jazz, but that snapped a 6-0 Under run. The total has gone high in just 2 of the past 12 outings, so be careful, and play the Over very lightly.

Season series: Sacramento leads 2-0

Utah suffered a 101-100 loss at the hands of the Houston Rockets Friday, covering as an 8-point home underdog. The Jazz came close to ending Houston’s win streak, but they could not overcome their 21 turnovers or 25.8% shooting from long range. Utah has lost 8 consecutive games.

Sacramento lost 107-103 vs. the Dallas Mavericks Friday, marking the team’s 2nd loss to the Mavericks in 4 days. The Kings failed to cover as 1-point home underdogs in the loss. Sacramento struggled to stop the Mavs’ duo of Kyrie Irvingand Luka Doncic, who combined for 56 points, while the Kings had no scorer eclipse 23.

Jazz at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 108, Jazz 103

Moneyline

PASS.

The Kings (-950) should come away with the win, but they are not worth the risk of betting on as -950 favorites. Bet on the spread and/or Over/Under instead.

Against the spread

LEAN JAZZ +12.5 (-108).

Utah has covered the spread in 4 of its last 5 matchups vs. the Kings in Sacramento. The Jazz also hold the narrow 5-4-1 ATS lead on the Kings in the last 10 meetings. Utah has also been the slightly better team ATS this year at 38-36, while the Kings are 36-36-1.

This is only a lean because both teams have been bad ATS recently and both have been mediocre ATS this season.

Over/Under

They currently hold the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference, the final guaranteed playoff spot, by a half-game over the Phoenix Suns.

Mavericks at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 111, Mavericks 108

Moneyline

The Mavs are red hot, having won 9 of their last 10 games, but the Kings have not lost consecutive games in over a month, last losing 2 in a row on Feb. 26 and 28. The Kings also have not lost consecutive home games in a homestand all season. They will bounce back.

The Kings are 21-14 at home and the Mavs have the identical road mark.

Since the odds for the win are nearly identical to the odds to cover, don’t risk the possibility of a 1-point win.

BET KINGS (-115).

Against the spread

The Kings have covered the spread in 5 of their last 6 wins while the Mavs are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games.

But this game is nearly a pick’em.

A matchup like this is perfect for picking the moneyline. And while the Mavs are the hotter team, as mentioned, the Kings have not lost consecutive games in a homestand.

You can stick to the moneyline or get a few more bucks with KINGS -1.5 (-105).

Either bet is fine.

Over/Under

Their 1st 2 meetings this season surpassed 230 total points. The total fell just shy of that on Tuesday with 228.

The Mavs have not allowed more than 107 points in their last 5 games and in 7 of their last 8.

The Kings have not surpassed 109 in their last 4.

BET UNDER 232.5 (-115).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Dallas Mavericks (42-29) make the 2nd stop on a 5-game road trip on Tuesday against the Sacramento Kings (42-29). Tip-off at Golden 1 Center is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (TNT). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Mavericks vs. Kings odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Kings lead 2-0; Sacramento is 2-0 against the spread (ATS) with the Under going 2-0

The Mavericks picked up a 115-105 win in Salt Lake City against the Utah Jazz on Monday, then hopped the team DSG Aviation team plane to Sacramento, arriving into California’s capital city at 11:28 p.m. PDT. It was a late night for the Mavs getting into the team hotel.

When playing on no rest, the Mavs are 5-5 straight up (SU) this season, but 2 of those losses came against the Kings in the 2nd end of a back-to-back. Dallas is 7-3 ATS in those 10 games on no rest, but again, 0-2 ATS in the games when facing the Kings after playing the night before.

The Kings posted a 108-96 win as a 7.5-point favorite against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night. Sacramento has won 4 of the past 5 games, while covering 3 of the past 4.

Mavericks at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 114, Mavericks 109

Moneyline

The Kings (-112) aren’t worth playing on the moneyline with such a small spread. There is no sense paying the extra juice when you can lay the little bit of points and pay less.

AVOID.

Against the spread

The KINGS -1 (-110) are slightly cheaper laying the little bit of points. Even if this line were to move to as many as 2 points, it’s still a better play to lay the points.

The Mavericks +1 (-110) have been on fire lately, going 8-1 ATS in the past 9 games, while winning the past 4 outings. However, Sacramento has been the kryptonite of Dallas, winning and covering both meetings to date, and each of those victories by the Kings came when the Mavericks are playing with no rest.

Over/Under

UNDER 233 (-110) is the play on Tuesday night in California’s capital city.

The Under cashed for both sides on Monday night in their respective games. In fact, Dallas has cashed the Under in 4 in a row, while going 6-1 in the past 7 outings. Sacramento went low Monday, cashing the Under for the 4th straight outing, while the Under is 8-1 in the past 9 games.

And in this series, the Under has cashed in 3 straight meetings, including both meetings this season, while hitting at a 7-3 pace in the past 10 encounters.
