The Kings look to claim back-to-back victories over the Spurs as the two sides meets for the second time in three days.
Sacramento extended their winning streak to six games with a 17-point drumming of the Spurs in San Antonio and be out to breech the gap on their conference rivals with another win here.
The Kings have covered the line in four of their last five matches, three of which were on the road.
Alternatively, the Spurs have failed to cover in four of their last five and have a record of 5-7 against the spread as a home favourite.
I believe the Kings will take this match outright, though I’m more than happy to take the +2.5 point insurance on offer.
Leg 1: Portland over Detroit
Portland are out to snag their fourth straight win on the road when they head to Detroit and take on the Pistons.
Detroit are 3-7 across their last 10 games and are 8-13 at home for the season!
The Trail Blazers have been cruising since the return of CJ McCollum and possess way too much fire power for the Pistons to extinguish here.
Leg 2: Bucks over Lakers
Milwaukee are seeking to avoid four straight defeats when they face LA at the Staples Centre.
The Lakers claimed the first match in this regular season series 113-106, LeBron and AD combined for 52 points, 14 assists and 15 boards on that night, both of which will be unavailable to face the Bucks this time around.
Without AD, the Lakers don’t possess anyone with the size or defensive grit to prevent Giannis from getting to the bucket, tilting this tie heavily in Milwaukee’s favour!
Leg 3: Harden to have 10+ Assists
With KD seeing extended bench time through injury and Kyrie skipping town for family event, Brooklyn have relied on one constant, James Harden.
The ex-Rocket has transformed his game from a pure score to an elite level facilitator since heading East.
The Beard is averaging 11.2 assists on the season and has forced himself into the MVP conversation.
Harden dropped 14 dimes on his former side last time out and will be looking to improve on that number on his new home court.
