Raptors at Kings picks and predictions
Prediction
Kings 124, Raptors 117
Moneyline
The Kings (-550) will cost you 5 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not nearly enough reward. Even as part of a multi-leg parlay, backing Sacramento is not a recommended play, as it sucks all of the value out of your ticket.
AVOID.
Against the spread
The RAPTORS +10.5 (-105) catching double digits is quite a bit. Toronto just won outright against the Kings -10.5 (-115) as a 9.5-point underdog 4 days ago.
Sacramento hasn’t been home since Oct. 28, a 111-98 win over the Portland Trail Blazers with a push at most shops as a 13-point favorite, the only previous game the Kings have been favored at home. The Over-Under has split in 2 games at Golden 1 Center for Sacto.
Over/Under
OVER 238.5 (-105) is a strong play in this rematch. While, yes, the Over cashed last time these teams met Monday night, it also went to overtime.
Still, the Over is 2-1 in 3 meetings against Eastern Conference foes for the Kings, while going 1-1 in 2 home games.
For the Raptors, the Over cashed in the 5-game road trip opener in Denver, while cashing in 5 in a row, and 7 of 8 games to date.
