Portland Trail Blazers vs Sacramento Kings Prediction

The Sacramento Kings are the better team, they’re at home with the rest advantage, and they’re the healthier team. There’s a lot going in the Kings’ favor, and it wouldn’t be shocking to see them win comfortably. The Trail Blazers played last night and will play their third game in 4 days. With that said, this is a lot of points to give a Trail Blazers team that’s competed through three games and could’ve easily had swept the Pelicans. The Kings also haven’t looked good defensively in two games. I’ll take a shot with the points and the Blazers.
