LA Clippers vs Sacramento Kings Prediction
I don't trust the LA Clippers on the road as much as I do at home, especially with them still being undermanned. The Sacramento Kings have been rolling lately, with wins in 5 of their last 6 games, and they're 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games. The Kings are lighting it up on the offensive end, and you have to like things to continue at home, where they haven't played a lot so far this season. The Kings have comfortably won the last two games against the Clippers and 5 of the last 7 meetings overall. Give me the Kings.
