Cavaliers at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 110, Cavaliers 106

Moneyline

The KINGS (+120) are worth a look at home, as Sacramento has dominated the series against the Cavaliers (-145) in recent seasons. The Kings have won 7 of the past 9 meetings in the series, including 4 of the past 5 battles in California's capital city. That includes a 127-120 victory on Nov. 9, 2022, as 4.5-point underdogs as the Over (228.5) connected.

Against the spread

The KINGS +2.5 (-110) aren't as good of a value, but if you feel as if this will be a 1-score game, or you simply want a little bit of insurance, take the home side with the little bit of points, especially if the line moves to a flat 3, or 3.5 points. Sacramento has covered 2 of the past 3 games at Golden 1 Center.

Over/Under

UNDER 221.5 (-110) is the lean.

The total has gone low in 6 of the past 7 meetings in this series, while going 8-2 in the past 10 overall since Dec. 6, 2017.

While the Cavaliers have hit the Over in 3 of the past 4 games, and the Over is 4-1 in 5 games on the road, the Under is 2-2 in the past 4 when Cleveland is favored.

The Under has cashed in 3 of the past 5 games overall for the Kings, while going 2-2 at home.
