Kings at Spurs picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 124, Spurs 113

Moneyline

PASS.

The Spurs have lost 6 in a row, 3 of which were at home. Expect them to make it 7. However, the Kings are priced too heavily here to win and aren't worth a moneyline play at -270.

Against the spread

LEAN KINGS -6.5 (-112).

The Spurs have covered 1 time in their last 6 games. They are just 4-7 ATS on the season. The main pain point is their defense, having allowed 117 or more in 7 straight games.

The Kings had 1 of the fastest and most efficient offenses last season. They have covered 3 straight games, scoring 125 or more in their last 2. Expect Sacramento's offense to be far too powerful for a young Spurs team.

Take KINGS -6.5 (-112).

Over/Under

BET OVER 236 (-110).

The Spurs look to push the pace, and the Kings won't shy away from a high-tempo game. San Antonio sits 6th in pace with the Kings 16th. The Spurs are 9-2 O/U and 7-1 O/U over their last 8 games.

They have scored 110 or more in 6 of their last 8 and have allowed 120 or more in 4 of their last 6. The Kings high-power offense has tallied at least 120 in 3 of their last 4 games.

Expect both teams to be able to push the pace and take OVER 236 (-110).
