Sacramento Kings vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction
The Sacramento Kings have some showing and proving to do, as they've underachieved up to this point and are just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games. However, the Kings are getting healthy, and they're coming off a strong road win over the Timberwolves. Maybe a turning point? We know what the Kings are capable of when they're rolling. The Portland Trail Blazers are 11-7-1 ATS on the season, but they're just not a team I'm excited to get behind against good competition. I'd need more points to consider the Blazers. Give me the Kings and a reasonable number.
