Spurs vs. Kings Preview
This may look like an easy game for the Kings on paper, but it's not given the spot and Sacramento's injury situation.
The Kings just concluded a four-game, eight-day road trip with a tough loss to the Nuggets two days ago. Sacramento had won the first three games of its road swing, and then led the Nuggets by nine points going into the fourth quarter, but ran out of gas and lost by six.
Sacramento's players barely have time to get acclimated to being back home before they go back on the highway for a bigger game against the Clippers on Sunday. So, there could be a concentration and focus problem for the Kings, especially given the low bar of their opponent.
The Kings though, would be challenged to cover a mid-range number without playing well even if they were healthy. But they aren't.
Domantas Sabonis and Malik Monk are both out. Those injuries more than offset the Spurs being without Victor Wembanyama.
Sabonis is Sacramento's top rebounder, defender and shot-blocker. Monk averages 17.6 points a game and is second on the team in assists.
San Antonio has an added day of rest after a 14-point home victory against the Nets this past Tuesday.
This is a bigger than normal game for the Spurs because De'Aaron Fox is playing against his former team. That should provide extra motivation for the San Antonio.
Best Bet: Spurs +6.5 (-110)
Spurs vs. Kings Parlay Picks
By Jim Turvey
Running this back with the same logic from last game when Chris Paul grabbed a grand total of zero rebounds.
Paul has cleared this in only 1 game since Victor Wembanyama went out following the All-Star Break.
The Kings are one of the top rebounding teams in the NBA, even without Domantas Sabonis. I have Paul projected for 2.7 rebounds tonight.
Pick: Chris Paul Under 3.5 Rebounds (-120)
