Chicago Bulls vs Sacramento Kings Prediction
Talk about a dreadful game, as these are possibly the two worst teams in the league in terms of current form. The Bulls have lost 12 of their last 14 games, while the Kings have lost 19 of their last 21 games. You’re down bad if you get involved in this mess. However, if forced to pick, I’d have to lean toward the home team and the points. Backing the Bulls sounds bad enough but laying points on the road seems even worse. You should pass on this game, but I’d grab the bucket with the Kings at home if forced to pick. Yuck.
