NBA Betting Trends
Sacramento
The Kings are 35-17 against the spread in their last 52 games following a loss and 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games on no rest.
San Antonio
The Spurs are 3-0-1 ATS in their last four conference games and 34-16 ATS in their last 50 home games.
Prediction:
The Kings have won and covered in both meetings with the Spurs this season, but both games were in Sacramento. Coming off a deflating loss last night to end their playoff hopes, I don’t see the Kings having a lot of spring in their step today. The Spurs are still trying to avoid an opening series with Golden State and earn the seven seed, so I think San Antonio will be very business-like tonight.
NBA Prediction: San Antonio Spurs -9.5
