NBA Betting Trends

Los Angeles

The Clippers are 20-7 against the spread in their last 27 Friday games and 4-1 ATS in their last five conference games.

Sacramento

The Kings have covered the spread in 10 of their last 11 following a loss and in five straight Friday games.

Prediction:

The Clippers aren’t the same team they have been most of the season due to trading away Tobias Harris. I think Los Angeles is going to struggle to keep up with the offensive pace that Sacramento will set. While the Kings are shaky on defense, so are the Clippers. Sacramento has more scorers and the Kings are playing good basketball right now. Most of their recent losses have come on the road in competitive games. Now, back at home, I like the Kings to take care of business.

NBA Prediction: Sacramento Kings -3
