Utah Jazz vs Sacramento Kings Prediction

The Kings are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home but I’m not excited to lay points with either of these teams. The Kings and Jazz are banged up and aren’t really trying to win at this stage. We hit on the Kings yesterday, but laying points with them on the end of a back-to-back isn’t ideal. The Jazz have won the last two games against the Kings. Also, as I’ve said all year, the Jazz don’t win games but they’re 36-31 ATS on the season. You can make money on the Jazz. There are better games out there on Sundays card but I’ll grab the free bucket if forced to pick.
