Lakers vs Kings Prediction
I don’t love the Lakers and double-digit chalk on the road, especially with a look-ahead game on deck with the Trail Blazers. However, it’s the Kings, and those who have followed along know how I feel about the Kings. They’re possibly the worst run franchise in all of sports. The Kings also got a nice win over the Mavericks, which means this is a letdown spot, and they’ll go on a 12-game losing streak. If you want a second opinion, see what the best NBA handicappers on our leaderboard are doing with tonight’s card.
This is a spot where you just back the other side to avoid having anything to do with the Kings. I’m not in the business of backing the Kings. Not in a house. Not with a mouse. Not here or there. Not anywhere. Give me the Lakers in a blowout victory on Wednesday night.
