Kings at Spurs picks and predictions
Prediction
Spurs 124, Kings 110
Moneyline
PASS.
Avoid this play. The Spurs (-2000) should win handily, but are too expensive to consider on the moneyline.
Against the spread
BET KINGS +18.5 (-115).
These games should be similar to the matchups from a season ago, and the Spurs won all 3 of those, with the home victories coming by 13 and 17 points. The Spurs have had uncharacteristic struggles defensively, having allowed at least 114 points in 2 of their last 3 games.
The Kings were blasted to open the season, but since then, they have looked much better, at least offensively. Sacramento is averaging 116 points per game across its last 2 contests and is 1-0 ATS in games which it closes as an underdog by more than 8 points. Don't expect this game to come down to the wire, but take the KINGS +18.5 (-115) to cover this sizable spread.
Over/Under
BET OVER 230.5 (-115).
The Kings' defense has been atrocious, and the Spurs should be able to take advantage. Sacramento has allowed at least 121 points in all 3 games, against much worse offenses than it will see Tuesday. It has gone Over in 2 straight games.
The Spurs rank 16th in defensive rating (111.3), so they haven't quite been at the same level on that side of the court as they were a season ago. While that could change, the Kings have weapons in Acuff Jr. and LaVine who will take and can make tough shots. Expect a shootout in San Antonio and back OVER 230.5 (-115).
