NBA Betting Trends

Sacramento

The Kings are 12-5 against the spread in their last 17 road games, but just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games overall.

Phoenix

The Suns are 3-7 against the spread in their last 10 games as a favorite, but 5-1 ATS in their last six games playing on 1 day of rest.

Prediction:

These two have met three times this season, with Phoenix getting a win and cover in two of the three games, including the lone meeting in Phoenix. The Suns are tough to trust because they should be having an improved year, but are still struggling with consistency. Still, the last week has been pretty good outside a loss to the Grizzlies. They have covered against the likes of the Lakers, Blazers and Kings. Sacramento has had some nice showings at home as of late, but they continue to struggle on the road. I think their lack of scoring will be the issue tonight, as Phoenix can score in droves behind Booker. With Ayton now in the mix, it makes the Suns even stronger on both sides of the ball.

NBA Prediction: Phoenix Suns -6.5
