Kings at Trail Blazers picks and predictions
Prediction
Kings 124, Trail Blazers 111
Moneyline
The Kings are only 6-6 on the road this season but the Blazers are only 3-10 at home. The Trail Blazers have lost 9 of their last 10 overall.
The Kings have not lost consecutive games since losing to the New Orleans Pelicans Nov. 20 and 22.
There is no reason to bet the Trail Blazers to win unless you are just hoping for a big payout, but the price makes betting the Kings to win not worth the action. Move on to the spread.
PASS.
Against the spread
The Kings are 5-5 ATS in their last 10 games but have covered the spread in 5 of their last 6 wins. Three of the Blazers' last 4 losses have been by double digits.
BET KINGS -8.5 (-105).
Over/Under
The Kings scored only 98 points in their last game but averaged 127.0 points per game in the 5 games before that. Half of their last 10 games have surpassed 236 total points.
The Blazers have averaged 113.8 points per game over their last 10. Half of their last 10 games have also surpassed 236 total points.
With such a high projection, this is going to be a tough call. Expecting a double-digit win from the Kings, it's going to be hard to hit the Over.
BET UNDER 236.5 (-110).
