The Sacramento Kings have been in a real slump as they've lost seven of their last nine games overall, but they will be feeling much better after snapping a three-game skid with a 125-102 road win over the Hornets on Friday. Zach LaVine led the team with 25 points, 10 rebounds and three assists, Domantas Sabonias tallied 24 points with 11 rebounds and seven assists, while DeMar DeRozan chipped in with 22 points. As a team, the Kings shot 49 percent from the field and 16 of 36 from the 3-point line as they dominated from the start and were always in complete control after outscoring the Hornets by 68-49 in the first half.
Cleveland Cavaliers Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Cleveland Cavaliers have been on a tear as they've won six of their last seven games overall and they will be gunning for a fourth straight victory after outlasting the pesky Spurs in a 114-113 road win on Friday. Donovan Mitchell led the team with 26 points and seven assists, Evan Mobley tallied 25 points iwth 12 rebounds and five assists on 10 of 13 shooting while Darius Garland chipped in with 19 points and seven assists. As a team, the Cavaliers shot 47 percent from the field and 22 of 51 from the 3-point line as they stormed out of the gates with 38 points in the first quarter to build a 23-point lead. This proved to be just enough in the end as the Spurs cut the lead to just one points with 29.0 seconds remaining.

Sacramento Kings vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction
The Kings have ruled out Jake LaRavia again and they have Keegan Murray listed as questionable, while the Cavaliers are still keeping eyes on Dean Wade and Ty Jerome, who are both questionable. The Cavaliers expectedly open as heavy favorites at home as they've been all season and I think they win comfortably, but the Kings beat the Cavaliers by 123-119 back on Mar. 19. I think they can at least keep this one to single digits in the end.
Peter’s Pick Sacramento +10.5
