Sacramento Kings vs Houston Rockets Prediction

The Rockets have the offense to blow the doors off of the Kings, and they’re a profitable 12-6 ATS on the season. However, this line is nuts. As bad as the Kings have been, they have moments where they compete, and this is a veteran roster that’s probably better than the results indicate. The Kings have also covered 5 of their last 7 games as a double-digit underdog. The last two games in that spot were outright wins. The Kings have won 7 of the last 10 games against the Rockets. I’ll grab the points here. This line is showing too much respect toward the Rockets.
