Magic at Kings picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 117, Magic 113

Moneyline

The Kings (-194) will cost you nearly 2 times your potential return, and that's just a little too expensive for my liking. My personal limit for a standalone moneyline wager is -180, although if you were to toss this into a multi-team parlay it wouldn't be the end of the world.

PASS, and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

The MAGIC +4.5 (-108) are worth playing in this road game, especially because the Kings -4.5 (-112) are coming off a straight-up loss to the lowly Hornets as a huge favorite.

Orlando has covered 5 of the past 7 games overall, while the Magic have covered 7 of the past 10 games against Western Conference teams this season.

Sacramento has dropped 3 of the past 5 games overall, and it is 2-3 ATS in the past 5 games, and a dismal 1-4 ATS in the past 5 outings at home.

Over/Under

UNDER 231 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

The total has gone low in 3 straight games for Sacto, and defense has been a major reason why. The Kings have allowed 111 or fewer points, with an average of just 104.3 PPG during the stretch. And the Under is 5-1 in the past 6 games overall for the Kings.

For the Magic, the Under has hit in 5 of the past 7 games overall, while going 4-2 in the past 6 outings on the road. Against the Western Conference, the total has gone low at a 6-4 clip in 10 tries.
