Sacramento Kings at Golden State Warriors Game 3 odds, picks and predictions

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

The Sacramento Kings take on the Golden State Warriors Thursday at the Chase Center for Game 3 of their 1st-round playoff matchup. Tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (TNT). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Kings vs. Warriors odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

Sacramento leads the playoff series 2-0; won regular-season series 3-1

The Kings are now favored (-170) to win the series after Monday’s 114-106 victory in Sacramento. The Warriors shot 13-of-40 from 3, which while not great was way better than the Kings’ 9-of-38. The Kings did shoot 11 more free throws and had 6 fewer turnovers (14-20).

The Steve Kerr-led Warriors have never been down 0-2 in a series. On top of that F Draymond Green has been suspended for this game after stomping on Kings F Domontas Sabonis. But they are playing at home, which gives them the edge.

Kings at Warriors picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 115, Warriors 104

Moneyline

Losing Draymond Green may not seem like a lot, he only averages 8.5 points and 7.2 rebounds, but his presence will be missed. This season the Warriors have just a .333 win percentage without Green suiting up.

The Kings have the 2nd-best road record this season (25-16). And it’s a chance to double-up.

LEAN KINGS +200.

Against the spread

Sacramento covered in 13 of the 20 games they played as a road underdog. Now the Warriors are certainly more formidable at home than on the road, but they are just 3-7 in their last 10 against teams above .500%.

The moneyline is a far better value, but if you need a little insurance, BET KINGS +5.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Warriors have gone Under in 5 of their last 6 games after an ATS loss. The Kings also trend to the Under. They are 5-1 in their last 6 and 4-1 in their last 5 road games.

The 1st game in this series had a 249 total while Game 2 hit 220. And for what’s worth, the 4 totals of the games between the teams this season: 255, 229, 237 and 216.

LEAN UNDER 240.5 (-110).

Analyzing Saturday’s Golden State Warriors at Sacramento Kings Game 1 odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The 6th-seeded Golden State Warriors and 3rd-seeded Sacramento Kings meet Saturday for Game 1 of their 1st-round NBA playoff action. Tip-off from Golden 1 Center is set for 8:30 p.m. ET (ABC).

Sacramento secured the 3-seed in the Western Conference despite dropping their last 3 games of the regular season. The Kings enter the playoffs after having one of the best offenses of all-time during the regular season, averaging a league-high 120.7 ppg and 49.4% shooting from the floor as a team, which was good for 2nd in the league.

Warriors at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 120, Kings 116

Moneyline

LEAN WARRIORS (-105).

Golden State has dominated Sacramento as of late, and while this is the best Kings team in decades, the Warriors still seem to have their number. Golden State is 9-4 in the last 13 meetings, but only 3-3 in the last 6 meetings in Sacramento. This is a toss-up game, but I expect Curry and the experience of the Warriors to prevail here.

Against the spread

BET WARRIORS +1.5 (-120).

The Warriors have been bad ATS against the Kings, being only 5-13 in the last 18 meetings, but have been great ATS when rested. The Warriors are 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 coming off 3+ days of rest, and they have had 5 full rest days leading up to this game.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 236.5 (-105).

The Under has dominated in recent matchups here, but with the 2 best offenses in the NBA it is hard to feel confident in the Under here, especially given how the playoffs tend to bring the best out of players. The Under is 3-0-1 in the last 4 meetings in Sacramento and 6-2-1 in the last 9 overall, making it the safer lean here.

Sacramento Kings at Denver Nuggets odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Sacramento Kings at Denver Nuggets odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Sacramento Kings (48-33) and Denver Nuggets (52-29) meet Sunday at Ball Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Kings vs. Nuggets odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Kings failed to cover the spread as 10.5-point home underdogs Friday in a 119-97 loss vs. the Golden State Warriors. F Trey Lyles and C Chimezie Metu scored 15 points each for the 3rd-place Kings, who rested their top 3 scorers.

The Nuggets failed to cover as 9.5-point road favorites Saturday in a 118-114 loss at the Utah Jazz. G Kentavious Caldwell-Pope had a season-high 21 points as 1st-place Denver lost for the 5th time in 6 games.

The season series is tied 1-1 with the Nuggets covering in both meetings and the Over hitting in 1 of the 2. Denver covered as a 3.5-point road underdog in a 127-126 loss on Dec. 28 as the Over (237.5) cashed in the most recent meeting.

Kings at Nuggets picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 115, Nuggets 106

Moneyline

PASS.

Sacramento (-200) should win since there has been speculation that Denver will rest some of its starters, but there is no need to pay the higher price on the moneyline when the Kings should win by margin. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

BET KINGS -5.5 (-110).

It is rare that teams will be favored in Denver, but this is a unique situation since the Nuggets may be resting starters. The Kings will send out a full lineup Sunday and should be able to easily win if they’re facing backups. Sacramento is 8-2 ATS in its last 10 games after a loss and should be looking to bounce back and treat this game as a tune-up for the playoffs.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 229.5 (-115).

The Under is 10-2 in Denver’s last 12 games and 4-0 in its last 4 at home.

The Under has hit in 6 of Sacramento’s last 7 after allowing 100 or more points and should cash again Sunday if the Nuggets rest their top scorers.

The Golden State Warriors (42-38) open a 2-game road trip to end the regular season Friday night, taking on the division champion Sacramento Kings (48-32). Tip-off is 10 p.m. ET at Golden 1 Center. Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Warriors vs. Kings odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Warriors are the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference, and are tied with the Los Angeles Clippers at 42-38, but L.A. holds a tiebreaker. They are coming off a 136-125 home win over the Oklahoma City Thunder Tuesday night, covering the 7.5-point spread as favorites.

The Kings have clinched a division title and a playoff berth. They are 3rd in the West. They last played Wednesday, losing 123-119 on the road to the Dallas Mavericks, covering the 6-point spread as underdogs.

The Warriors lead the season series 2-1.

Warriors at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 119, Kings 114

Moneyline

The Warriors have been awful on the road all season, going 9-30. They have won 2 of their last 3 road matchups.

The home team has won every matchup between the 2 teams this season, but Sacramento appears to be resting players now that they have their seed locked up for the postseason.

But betting the Warriors to win outright doesn’t make sense, having to wager 3.75 times what you can win.

PASS.

Against the spread

Here is where I don’t trust Golden State. They are 9-28-1 ATS on the road this season.

They are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following an ATS win. They are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight-up win.

The Kings, though, are 18-21-3 ATS at home. They have covered the spread in 4 of their last 5 games. They are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a loss.

BET KINGS +9.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Two of their 3 meetings this season have had totals Over tonight’s projected total. Their lowest total in a game this season in their meetings has been 229.

The Under is 4-1 in the Warriors’ last 5 Friday games.

Five of the Kings’ last 8 games have had 234 or fewer total points. The same is the case for the Warriors.

BET UNDER 235.5 (-115).

Sacramento Kings at Dallas Mavericks odds, picks and predictions

The Sacramento Kings (48-31) are on the road for the 2nd night in a row when they take on the Dallas Mavericks (37-42). Tip-off Wednesday at American Airlines Center is at 8:30 p.m. ET.

The Kings clinched the Pacific Division title on Tuesday with their 121-103 road win over the New Orleans Pelicans as 4-point underdogs. They are the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference, trailing the 2nd-place Memphis Grizzlies by 2 games with 3 games to go.

The Mavericks are 11th in the West, half a game behind the Oklahoma City Thunder for the final play-in spot. They have lost 3 straight games and 7 of their last 8. They lost 132-130 in overtime Sunday at the Atlanta Hawks, although they did cover the 3.5-point spread.

Kings at Mavericks picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 124, Mavericks 118

Moneyline

The Kings are 25-14 on the road this season and have won 10 of their last 11 road games. The Mavericks have struggled recently overall, losing 7 of 8 games. They have lost 3 straight at home and 6 of their last 8 there.

While the Mavericks are in the more desperate position, the Kings are playing too well. I love the upset here.

BET KINGS (+185).

Against the spread

The Kings are actually 7-1 ATS in their last 8 riad games against teams with a winning home record. The Mavs are 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games against opponents with a road winning percentage higher than .600 like the Kings. They are also 1-6-1 ATS following an ATS win.

The Kings are a good bet here but since we like them to win outright, you have to go with the moneyline for the potential payout.

PASS.

Over/Under

The teams have split 2 games this season with the totals of 236 and 261 (an overtime game). Two of the Kings’ last 3 games had totals higher than Wednesday’s projection, but the Under is 5-1 in their last 6 Wednesday games.

The Under is 5-0 in the last 5 games for the Mavericks following an ATS win. Their last 2 games have had totals higher than Wednesday’s projection, but those are the only 2 in their last 6.

BET UNDER 243.5 (-110).

Spurs at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 135, Spurs 115

Moneyline

PASS.

Sacramento (-1600) has won 5 straight meetings vs. San Antonio and should have no problem beating the shorthanded Spurs, but there is no need to pay the higher price on the moneyline when the Kings should win by margin. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

BET KINGS -16.5 (-115).

Sacramento is sending out a much healthier lineup and although the Spurs lost at the Warriors, they may still experience a letdown after a very respectable performance vs. the defending NBA champions. Sacramento has been playing above expectation lately and is 7-2 ATS in its last 9 games while coming off 2 blowout wins at the shorthanded Trail Blazers. The Kings have been beating up on inferior competition lately and should do so once again vs. San Antonio.

Over/Under

BET OVER 243.5 (-110).

This number is a little high but since this game will likely be a blowout there should be a lot of meaningless scoring in the 4th quarter. The Over is 4-1 in San Antonio’s last 5 vs. teams with a winning record and 5-1 in Sacramento’s last 6 vs. teams with a winning percentage below .400. Look for this game to soar over the total late while all the backups play for future roster spots.

Kings at Trail Blazers picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 121, Trail Blazers 105

Moneyline

PASS.

A -1300 road favorite makes no sense to play as it is far too expensive. The Blazers have shut down superstar G Damian Lillard, so there is little chance they pull off the upset.

Against the spread

LEAN KINGS -14.5 (-110).

Sacramento has covered 5 of its last 9 games and is locked into a playoff spot. It is 2 games behind Memphis for the No. 2 seed. Sacramento is the No. 1 ATS team on the road, posting a 24-13 record away from home.

The Blazers are just 18-21 ATS at home this season. The Blazers also don’t have the scoring to compete with Sacramento, as they showed on Wednesday. Considering the season-long trends, back the KINGS -14.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 231.5 (-110).

The Kings have gone Under in 3 straight games. They rank 7th in turnover rate, so once easily up, the Kings should be able to take care of the ball and get deep into the shot clock.

The Trail Blazers have also gone Under in 3 straight games and in 4 of their last 6. They have failed to hit 100 in 3 of their last 4 games. The scoring just isn’t there for Portland, and it will continue to face that issue this season.

Ultimately, considering the lack of scoring Portland has and the tempo the Kings should want to play, take the UNDER 231.5 (-110).

Sacramento Kings at Portland Trail Blazers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Sacramento Kings at Portland Trail Blazers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Kings were tripped up 119-115 at home against the Minnesota Timberwolves Monday night as 5.5-point favorites while the Under (239.5) cashed. Sacramento is on a 1-4 against the spread (ATS) skid.

The Trail Blazers were hammered 124-90 at home against the visiting New Orleans Pelicans Monday, not even coming close to covering as 11.5-point underdogs as the Under (227) easily connected. Portland is on a 2-6 ATS slide, and it has won just once straight up (SU) in the past 10 outings.

The last time these teams met in Sacramento, the Kings won 133-116 as a 10.5-point favorite at Golden 1 Center on Feb. 23 as the Over (234) hit.

Kings at Trail Blazers picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 129, Trail Blazers 110

Moneyline

The Kings (-1000) should roll out of the Rose City with a double-digit road win, as the Trail Blazers (+700) are a rudderles ship right now, especially with Dame on the shelf for the rest of the season.

Still, you can’t risk 10 times your potential return on a road team, or really, any time.

PASS.

Against the spread

The KINGS -14.5 (-112) are the play, although double-digit favorites on the road come with risk.

The Trail Blazers +14.5 (-108) have so many key parts either sidelined, or unlikely to play, and it laid a total egg last time out. Expect more of the same.

Portland is just 1-6 ATS in the last 7 games at home, while going 4-16-1 ATS in the last 21 against teams with a winning overall record.

Over/Under

Side with the OVER 236.5 (-112).

It’s about the Over for the Kings lately, going 16-7-1 in the past 24 games overall, while going 8-3-1 in the previous 12 outings on the road. The Over is also 8-3-1 in the last 12 when playing on a day of rest, too.

For the Blazers, the Over has connected in 12 of the last 17 games against winning teams, while going 5-2 in the last 7 after losing by 10 or more points in the previous outing.

Timberwolves at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 124, Timberwolves 120

Moneyline

The Kings (-200) will cost you 2 times your potential return, and that’s just too much risk for not enough reward, especially with Fox nursing a sore right hamstring and potentially unable to suit up. He missed Saturday’s game against the Utah Jazz.

Fox averages a team-high 25.3 points while hitting 51.6% of his field-goal attempts and adds 6.1 assists and 4.2 rebounds per game. If he doesn’t play, it’s a major difference.

PASS.

Against the spread

The TIMBERWOLVES +4.5 (-102) are the lean either way, but especially so if Fox is not cleared to play. A combination of G Matthew Dellavedova and G Davion Mitchell is not nearly as formidable as Fox.

Mitchell made the start Saturday with Fox sidelined and posted 11 points with 6 assists and 4 steals.

The Timberwolves are 6-2 ATS in the past 8 games on the road and 5-1 ATS in the past 6 outings when playing on no rest. Minnesota is also 6-2-1 ATS in the past 9 meetings with the Kings and is 3-1-1 ATS in the past 5 trips to Sacramento.

Over/Under

Play the OVER 240.5 (-112).

The Over is 4-1 in Minnesota’s last 5 games overall, 5-1 in its last 6 road outings and 4-1 in its last 5 playing on no rest.

The Kings have also posted a 4-1 Over mark in the past 5 games overall, have cashed 8 of their last 10 against winning sides and are 8-3 in their last 11 at Golden 1 Center.

The Over has connected in each of the past 5 meetings between these teams in Sacramento.

Utah Jazz at Sacramento Kings odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Utah Jazz at Sacramento Kings odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Utah Jazz (35-38) travel to meet the Sacramento Kings (44-29) on Saturday at Golden 1 Center. Tip is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Jazz vs. Kings odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Jazz were destroyed by the Milwaukee Bucks at home Friday night, losing 144-116 as a 9.5-point underdog as the Over (234) cashed. Utah has dropped 2 in a row, with an average losing margin of 20.0 points per game (PPG).

Utah has cashed the Over in 7 in a row, while going 9-0-1 in the past 10 games overall. That includes a 128-120 win over Sacramento at Vivint SmartHome Arena in Salt Lake City March 20 as a 7-point underdog with the Over (240.5) cashing.

The Kings snapped a 2-game losing streak with a 135-127 win over the Phoenix Suns as a 4.5-point favorite as the Over (239) cashed. Sacramento has cashed the Over in 4 straight and 6 of the past 8 games overall.

Jazz at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 128, Jazz 116

Moneyline

The Kings (-330) will cost you nearly 3 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s just too expensive for a singular bet. Even including Sacramento in a multi-team parlay sucks all of the value out of your ticket.

PASS.

Against the spread

The KINGS -7.5 (-108) are the play in this battle in California’s capital city. Sacramento enters this game healthy, while the Jazz +7.5 (-112) could potentially be missing Gay and Markkanen. The latter is the team’s leading scorer and rebounder, going for 25.7 points per game (PPG) and 8.6 rebounds per game (RPG), while also shooting 50.5% from the field and 40.0% from behind the 3-point line.

If Markkanen isn’t able to play, his loss would be devastating for the visitors. Gay is a solid player off the bench, but his loss wouldn’t be as significant if Markkanen can, indeed, play.

Over/Under

Play the OVER 238.5 (-112).

The Over is the play in this Western Conference battle. For Utah, the Over is 9-1-1 in the past 11 games overall, and 19-6-1 in the past 26 games on the road. However, if Markkanen cannot go, there is some concern.

The Over is also 7-3 in the past 10 games against winning teams for Utah, while going 16-5-1 in the past 22 games overall for the Kings. The Over is 6-1 in the past 7 games for Sacramento when playing on no rest, too, and 5 of the past 6 in this series.
