Chicago Bulls vs Sacramento Kings Prediction

The Kings are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home with both teams on the end of a back-to-back. However, there’s value with the Bulls and the points, as both teams are fighting for playoff positioning. The Kings could also be in a letdown spot after beating the Cavs last night. The Bulls have covered seven of their last 10 games and they’ve seen 16 of their 29 wins come on the road. Also, the underdog has covered seven of the last 10 games between the Kings and Bulls. I’ll take a shot with the points.
