Prediction

Kings 126, Lakers 121

Moneyline

The Kings have beaten the Lakers in 4 straight meetings and in 7 of the last 8. They last met in L.A. on March 6 with the Kings getting a 130-120 win as 3-point underdogs behind G De'Aaron Fox's 44 points. Fox has averaged 36.3 points in 3 games against the Lakers this season.

The Lakers have not been a good road team overall this season, but have had recent success. They are 12-19 on the road overall but 5-2 in their last 7 road contests. The Kings are 18-12 at home.

Sacramento is at full strength and has had the Lakers' number this year, winning the last 2 matchups by 10 and 15 points.

BET KINGS (+115).

Against the spread

The Lakers have not been a good ATS bet on the road (13-18 ATS) this season and the Kings also have been a bad ATS bet at home (12-18 ATS).

The Kings are 1-1 ATS as home underdogs this season. The Lakers are 2-8 ATS as road favorites.

The Kings are the better ATS bet in this matchup, but because their last 10 covers have been outright wins, you should take the plus odds on the moneyline instead of the spread.

PASS.

Over/Under

The total in 2 of 3 meetings this season has been 250 and higher.

The Lakers have scored 120 or more in 3 straight games. The Kings have scored 129 or more in 3 of 4 of 124 or more in 4 of 6.

BET OVER 238.5 (-105).
