Kings at Clippers picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 122, Clippers 121

Moneyline

This line has been moving toward the KINGS (+185) Sunday morning, and at this price, there still is some value. Sacramento dominated the Clippers last season, winning 3 of 4 meetings, and has a decent shot at not losing to Los Angeles for a 3rd straight time this season.

SPRINKLE the moneyline with KINGS (+185).

Against the spread

This is too many points for the Clippers to be laying considering how they've played lately. Los Angeles is just 1-5 ATS in its last 6 games and has alternated wins and losses over that stretch.

The Kings have dropped 2 of their last 4 games, but those losses were on the road against 2 of the best teams in the West in the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Phoenix Suns. The Clippers are up there as well, but it'll be hard for them to beat Sacramento for a 3rd straight time this season, especially by 7 or more points.

BET KINGS +5.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Over is 8-1 in Sacramento's last 9 games and 3-1 in the last 4 meetings between these teams. However, the Clippers are 7th in defensive efficiency at home, according to Teamrankings.com, and may be able to slow down this Kings offense.

I've had no interest in the Under in Kings games recently, but this line is a bit too high for me to bet with the Clippers at home.

LEAN OVER 239.5 (-115).
