Los Angeles Lakers vs Sacramento Kings prediction

The Sacramento Kings are on the end of a back to back, but this line is still strange. The Los Angeles Lakers are banged up, inconsistent and who knows if LeBron is going to play. The Kings also get up for the Lakers and have won 4 straight games against them. Heck, the Kings just beat the Lakers by 10 points a week ago. The Kings are a young team still trying to prove themselves, and they take these in-state games personal. I'll grab the free bucket with the Kings.
