Kings at Lakers picks and predictions

Prediction

Lakers 121, Kings 118

Moneyline

The Lakers are 5-0 at home this season and have averaged 122.6 points per game over their last 3.

The Kings beat the Lakers in Sacramento 132-127 on Oct. 29, but they are 1-3 on the road so far this season.

BET LAKERS (-120).

Against the spread

The Lakers are 2-5 ATS when favored this season. They have covered the spread in 3 of their last 4 wins.

The Kings have covered the spread only once in their 4 losses.

With the -105 odds to win by 2 — and no 1-point games between the 2 teams in their last 10 meetings — there is little difference between betting the Lakers to win or to cover. Pick whichever bet you prefer.

BET LAKERS -1.5 (-105).

Over/Under

Six of the last 7 meetings between the teams have had more than 232 total points.

The Lakers' offense has been rolling the last 3 games, averaging 122.6 points in that span.

The Kings average 113.4 points per game this season.

BET OVER 235.5 (-105).
