NBA Betting Trends
Philadelphia
The 76ers are 23-8 against the spread in their last 31 games against Pacific division opponents, but just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 Saturday games.
Sacramento
The Kings have covered the spread in six straight home games, but just 2-9 ATS in their last 11 against winning teams.
Prediction:
These two have yet to meet this season, but I could see the Kings stealing this game. Philly is coming off an emotional win at Golden State and the 76ers have been inconsistent on the road as is. With Redick out, that is a big outside shooting presence that will not be available. Sacramento can score a lot of points at home and the Kings are 17-8 against the spread on their home floor. I will take my chances on Sacramento tonight.
