The Sacramento Kings have the ability to blow the doors off here, and the Portland Trail Blazers have been a mess all week, which includes losing their last 5 games by an average of 19.2 points. The Kings also just beat the Trail Blazers by 40 points on Wednesday. This is a lot of free buckets, and it's just the fifth time this season the Kings are double-digit favorites. Still, backing the Trail Blazers with any confidence is a no-go at this stage in the season. Give me the Kings in another beat down.
