Cleveland Cavaliers vs Sacramento Kings Prediction
You can make a case for the Kings as they’re at home with the rest advantage and they’ve quietly covered seven of their last 10 games. However, the Cavs can’t afford to blow a third straight game if getting the top seed in the NBA is the goal. The Kings are also without Sabonis which isn’t ideal. The Cavs have still been one of the most consistent teams in the league and they’re 42-25-1 ATS on the season. Only the Thunder cover numbers at a higher clip than the Cavs. I’d need more points to look in the Kings' direction. Give me the Cavs and the reasonable chalk.
