Portland Trail Blazers vs Sacramento Kings Prediction

The Kings are in a revenge spot after making a comeback to force overtime against the Blazers just to lose on a controversial call late. The problem is the Kings suck, so they can be angry all they want, it probably doesn’t matter. The Kings not only have just 6 wins on the season, but they’re 9-17-1 ATS. You should not be backing the Kings. The Trail Blazers have quietly won two straight games, and they need to take advantage of spots like this if they’re going to dig out of this hole. The line isn’t anything crazy. I have little use for the Kings. Give me the Trail Blazers.
