Detroit Pistons vs Sacramento Kings Prediction
The Pistons continue to win games and should be favored here, but they’re on the end of a back-to-back, and coming off a tough game against Portland. The Kings are rested, at home, and they’re coming off a massive upset win over the Rockets. It’s the type of win that could get the Kings rolling a bit. Or the Kings can go back to sucking. I guess we’ll see. Either way, the underdog has covered 6 of the last 9 games between the Kings and Pistons. The Kings have cashed three straight tickets. With the rest edge, I’ll take a shot with the Kings.
