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
BET UNDER 225 (-110).
The Under has hit in 6 consecutive games for the Kings and is 9-1 in their last 10 overall.
For Utah, the Under is 2-1 in its last 3 games and 6-2 in its last 8 overall. The Under has also hit in 2 of the last 3 Utah-Sacramento matchups.
