Spurs at Kings picks and predictions
Prediction
Kings 122, Spurs 107
Moneyline
PASS.
The Spurs without their best player against 1 of the best teams in the Western Conference doesn’t sound like a great combination for the road side. Neither team is worth a play on the moneyline here.
Against the spread
LEAN KINGS -11 (-110).
Wembanyama brings an unparalleled size to the court, and he went for 19 points, 13 rebounds, 5 blocks and 5 steals the last time these teams played. His absence will sting and open up the court for Fox to operate. The Spurs are just 4-6 ATS in their last 10 road games.
The Kings haven’t covered well as double-digit underdogs, but the absence of Wemby will unlock the potential for C Domantas Sabonis to get easy buckets in the paint. Expect the home side to take this one with ease and back KINGS -11 (-110).
Over/Under
BET UNDER 237 (-112).
The Under is a strong play for both sides. The Kings have scored 110 or fewer in 2 of their last 4 games and have traded off going Over and Under in 9 straight games, most recently going Over in their win against the Lakers Wednesday.
They are also on the 2nd night of a back-to-back and may not push the tempo if they’re leading by a sizable margin. The Spurs have gone Under in 4 of their last 5 games and are 3-14-1 O/U in their last 18 games. Back UNDER 237 (-112).
