Sacramento Kings vs LA Clippers Prediction

The Sacramento Kings have yet to win a preseason game, and they’ve been rough to say the least on the defensive side. Outside of Kawhi, the LA Clippers have played a lot of their key players quality minutes, and they’ve won 3 straight games. The Clippers have also been elite defensively, holding teams to 98 points on 39.7 percent shooting. The Clippers have bought in these exhibition games, and I’m not stepping in front. I’ll lay the points with the Clippers at home.
