Utah Jazz vs Sacramento Kings Prediction

I considered the Jazz and the points because the Kings are on the end of a back-to-back. However, the Jazz aren’t good at either SU or ATS. The Kings are also 7-1 SU and 5-3 ATS in the last 8 games against the Jazz. The Kings beat the Jazz by 17 points a couple of weeks ago. The Jazz aren’t a good team on either side of the floor, and it makes it hard to get behind them with confidence. Give me the Kings in a comfortable home victory.
