LA Clippers vs Sacramento Kings Prediction
The Clippers are quietly playing their best ball of the season and are looking more and more like a contender in the West. The Clippers should be favored over a Kings team that’s underachieved for much of the season. With that said, the Kings have won three of their last four games, and some of those victories should have earned your attention. Also, the underdog has covered six of the last nine games between the Clippers and Kings. The Clippers and Kings played a month ago, and it was a one-point game in overtime. The Clippers also have a lot of rotation players on their injury report. Give me the Kings and the points.
